Your use of 'dickweeds' in 12243, Bigley, reminded me on an incident a jillion years ago when I was still teaching....on the junior high/middle school level at the time....An associate and I were talking about a few 'difficult' students -- kinda smart-asses and trouble makers -- and we referred to them as "dickfors"....The Home Economics teacher who was sitting across the room raised her head from the notepad she was using and innocently asked, "What's a dickfor"? Both of us just stared at her for a moment then Bob said, "Repeat that slowly, Nancy", which she started to do until she got to the "What's a di.....", stopping abruptly, red-faced and semi-embarrassed as she hurried from the faculty lounge stiffling a laugh.....She was, in her defense, not the sharpest tool in the kit and, as far as we knew, she had no boyfriends or frame-of-reference for that question.....
