RfD discussion
The following information passed a request for deletion.
This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.
An IP has been tagging this for speedy deletion on the grounds that it's not a single word, so I thought I would bring it here. While I disagree with the stated grounds for deletion, I do think this is quite SOP. The only question in my mind is whether we keep hyphenated adjective-noun constructions.
To avoid making this a debate about alleged obscenity, let's look at analogous constructions with less-controversial body parts: big-nosed, big-eared, big-footed, etc. I would argue that there are lots of adjectives that could be used this way: long-fingered, bony-fingered, sharp-toothed, crooked-fingered, short-thumbed, wide-hipped, etc. We have entries for broad-shouldered and long-legged. The first makes sense, because it implies more than mere measurement, but I'm not sure about the second.
Going further afield, what about round-windowed, blue-painted, sandy-soiled, big-trunked, or wood-paneled? All of these seem similarly SOP to me. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:03, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- The meaning's very transparent. On the other hand it seems to me that it's a single word. Is the meaning easily derived from the sum of its parts? Possibly. To my surprise dicked#Adjective exists. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:13, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- At least we have the appropriate sense of dicked#Adjective. (Though we miss the other sense of dicked#Adjective ("screwed", "fucked"), which is almost certainly a true adjective.) I hope we have all the similar adjectives of the form 'noun + -ed'. DCDuring TALK 15:07, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- I scoured b.g.c for bigdicked in case this is coal-mineable, but no luck. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 15:28, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- Delete as redundant to dicked. Equinox ◑ 10:25, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Delete. CFI's pretty clear on this one. Renard Migrant (talk) 13:33, 4 September 2014 (UTC)- My mistake, it says "An expression is idiomatic if its full meaning cannot be easily derived from the meaning of its separate components." It doesn't have any information on what makes single words idiomatic or not. Renard Migrant (talk) 11:07, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not really worried about this - it's a bit vulgar anyway - but I think it's worth pointing out that a word like dicked is usually qualified by another adjective, such as big, small or tiny. It is not usually used on its own. Donnanz (talk) 12:47, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- There are more sophisticated synonyms such as well-endowed and well-hung. I don't think anyone would suggest deleting those too. Donnanz (talk) 13:18, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- Keep as single word. Ƿidsiþ 13:33, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- We seem to be missing quite a few of these, the number depending on whether the hyphen is required and how hard you want to search: limp-dicked/limp dicked, tiny-dicked/tiny dicked, monster dicked, giant dicked, huge dicked, hard-dicked/hard dicked, etc. I don't see how our language learners can do without them. DCDuring TALK 15:05, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
AbstainKeep. This is a puzzling group of items. The entirely regular construction is that "(adj)-(noun)ed" is used to mean "having (adj) (noun)". I am considering the idea of keeping all space-free hyphenated forms, but hesitate. One information we provide by having this is that people actually say this; compare big-dicked, big-penised at Google Ngram Viewer. Furthermore, the SoP claim cannot really be "big-" + "dicked" but rather "big-" + "dick" + "ed", and the last part of that composition is done without a space and without a hyphen. A related question is whether we want to use "big-dicked" to attest dicked, "dark-haired" to attest haired, "big-brain" to attest brained, etc. For the curious about frequencies: big-nosed,big-eared,big-footed,long-fingered,bony-fingered,sharp-toothed,crooked-fingered,short-thumbed,wide-hipped,round-windowed,blue-painted,sandy-soiled at Google Ngram Viewer. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:35, 4 October 2014 (UTC)- Switched to keep. This should not be precendent-forming, though. In “blue-eyed”, in OneLook Dictionary Search., Merriam-Webster has an idiomatic sense, while Collins and Webster 1913 only have the transparent one. Another interesting search: “long-haired”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:31, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
- Blue eyes aren't really blue, just as (natural) red hair isn't really red. DCDuring TALK 16:02, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
- This should not be precedent-setting. I think it is stupidity-indicating. DCDuring TALK 16:24, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
- Had I voted in this discussion, my vote would have been meh. Still, it is an outlier, and editors who disagree with entries like this will not make entries like this. bd2412 T 16:32, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Passed RFD in 2014, when we were all a little less mature. Still majorly SOPpy. Indian subcontinent (talk) 20:26, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

- As I said before: "I'm not really worried about this - it's a bit vulgar anyway - but I think it's worth pointing out that a word like dicked is usually qualified by another adjective, such as big, small or tiny. It is not usually used on its own. Donnanz (talk) 12:47, 10 September 2014 (UTC)". DonnanZ (talk) 23:15, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, that's why our dicked entry says "in combination". The accompanying adjective can be anything, so we can't create entries for every possible combination. Equinox ◑ 15:08, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Well, the entry for dicked is, dare I say it, half-baked. It needs some examples of its usage (big-dicked, etc.) added to justify the deletion of big-dicked. DonnanZ (talk) 09:07, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- What's more, this page now has audio pronunciation, and enough quotations to satisfy RFV. DonnanZ (talk) 09:28, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Delete 🔥ಶಬ್ದಶೋಧಕ🔥 12:08, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hmmm..., my only pause is hung, well-hung, etc. for synonyms but there is Thesaurus:macrophallic at those entries so redirecting to dicked and adding the thesaurus there would work. And there are a gazillion derived terms at dick (who would have guessed?) which itself could be linked to as well. Cheers, Facts707 (talk) 21:51, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, per above, dicked covers everything and we're all misandrists now anyway.
