"dickhead"
This entry is gonna be a bit shaneographic so if you don't like dickheadish things, I suggest you stop reading.
I was just thinking today... Who came up with the term
dickhead? I bet you it was a woman cos only men can be dick
heads. Sometimes we refer to each other by our representative reproductive organ, but why single out a head over the whole thing? (Woman are never called cunt lips, for example). I mean, I'm not really sure it even resembles an actual human head of any sort, except maybe someone who's gone through a massive car accident, and had to have half his brain removed leaving an immense single-incision scar from just above his forehead to the back of his head near the nape of his neck. But even then he wouldn't really be totally bald. Maybe splotchy patches of hair. But not bald. There's no denying that the term spawned all sorts of other useful sub terms used to make fun of men: "
They're always thinking with the wrong/other head". But the fact is, a
dickhead looks nothing like a head.
On the other hand, a dick kind does look more like a snake. So they started calling it
the one-eyed snake. So that's why you get all-time favorite terminology like "
Hey baby check out my Alabama blacksnake", or the old-school bar joke of "
Daddy, I saw the postman and mum in bed. He also brought his snake and it went into mummy's cave", and so on and so forth. But seriously, why is having a snake as symbol of sex so appealing? I can only think of the biblical story of Adam and Eve and the highly seductive snake slithering all around Eve's naked body. Or not. And anyway, there are small thin snakes. But in reality of thick, long, hard snakes are desirable. People take all sorts of things to make the snake hard. But hard snakes are usually stuffed and displayed in a museum.
I'm quite convinced it's a feminist conspiracy.
