*Oppose. It is a little hard to follow your logic, with your juxtaposition of "from to", and your comment that Wikipedia is not censored. I am not aware of "dick" being a "four letter word", or should I say, a "dirty little word". I would hasten to say that the word penis is far more encyclopedic than dick, which could be a joke about someone named Dick, as in "Tom, Dick and Harry". I would also caution editors to use exact quotes. If someone says "dick joke", that is what their quote should say. If someone walked up to me and asked me if I wanted to hear a "dick joke", my first impression would be that the joke was going to be about a person named Dick, and my second that it was a joke about messing with something ("dicking around"). It would be highly unlikely that human anatomy would occur to me. 199.125.109.126 (talk) 18:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: *I apologise for the deficiency of my English on this occasion.  What I was trying to get across was that "dick joke" is the common term, that "penis joke" is far less common, and that we should not prefer the latter because some might find the former vulgar.  As for your thoughts on what you yourself would understand "dick joke" to mean, I find them rather charming – somewhat out of touch with common usage, but charming. – The Parting Glass 19:19, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Innuendo? 

message: In private conversations among professional comedians, I've heard the term "dick joke" get used to refer to any facile dumb humor that gets dropped in, as dumb *as if* it were literally just dick jokes.  Example: In the middle of a conversation with a good and sustained level of humor, someone drops in some just distractingly stupid joke, and then being told "dammit!, why do you always have to go right to the dick joke!?" (when the joke in question wasn't an actual dick joke at all, just dumb and vulgar). Or: "(some name) is a HACK-- He goes up and does eight minutes of dick jokes and he calls that a set!" (...where that might not involve *any* actual dick jokes, but humor about no smarter than a bunch of dick jokes.)  Ironically, this entry's example of a dick joke "A professor gives his psychology class a spot quiz..." wouldn't count as a dick joke in the sense I'm talking about-- too much setup, and not broad enough... at all.  Also, about as funny as a glacier.  Anyway, for my sense of "dick joke", I have no citation whatsoever-- it has come up repeatedly in conversation as a term of jargon, but I'm not putting it in this entry, because, like I say, no citation.  But, folks, keep listening, because maybe the sense I'm talking about will show up in some comedian's podcast or something. (I would say "keep an ear cocked!", but please, I have some self-respect! Oh, wait, no, there it went.) —Sburke (talk) 01:41, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
