I gather, crewdude, that you have never seen Cole Porter's Kiss Me Kate in performance, nor listened to the lyrics in "Tom, Dick or Harry" within it.
"Dick" is considered only "vulgar" in the dictionary, unlike, say the "f" word, crewdude. Look it up, do your homework. And even the dictionary mentions its use is often associated with humor, as Phyllis' was in having to bluntly spell it out for those in blissful ignorance.

Stop following me around the website like a pet poodle, Namo. You're a bore. If you bother Christ with such garbage, you'd better do your homework first. Your karma is already shot.
