Dick (slang)
''Dick'' is a common English slang word for the human penis.Eric Partridge, Paul Beale, ''A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English'' (1984), p. 305. It is also used by extension for a variety of slang purposes, generally considered vulgar, including: as a verb to describe sexual activity; and as a pejorative term for individuals who are considered to be rude, abrasive, inconsiderate, or otherwise contemptible. In this context, it can be used interchangeably with ''jerk'', and can also be used as a verb to describe rude or deceitful actions. Variants include dickhead, which literally refers to the glans. The offensiveness of the word ''dick'' is complicated by the continued use of the word in inoffensive contexts, including as both a given name (often a nickname for Richard) and a surname, the popular British dessert spotted dick, the classic novel ''Moby-Dick'', the ''Dick and Jane'' series of children's books, and the American retailer Dick's Sporting Goods.

King Size Dick
King Size Dick (born Heinz Ganss; December 29, 1942) in Cologne is a German Rock music singer, who mainly sings in the Colognian dialect. Biography King Size Dick, a truck driver by profession, began his musical career in the 1960s in his home town of Cologne in several smaller musical bands. The first band he was a member of was called "Dick & The Shade". Whilst serving in the armed forces in Wales, he was a guest singer in a band called Brian Poole & The Tremeloes. In the 1970s, he performed together with the Bläck Fööss, whilst also working as their truck driver.

They played German rock music songs such as ''Schweine in weißen Westen'' (which translates to 'pigs in white vests'). Awards King Size Dick ...

I Love Dick
''I Love Dick'' is a novel by American artist and author Chris Kraus. Published by Semiotext(e) in 1997, ''I Love Dick'' merges fiction and memoir formats to explore the writer's psycho-sexual obsession with the eponymous "Dick", a media theorist and sociologist whose last name is never given over the course of the text, despite other art world personalities appearing as themselves. Critics hailed it as both "radical" and "gossipy" and the book continues to be an interdisciplinary point of reference for writers, artists, art historians and theorists. The book announced Kraus' particular brand of "confessional literature" that she herself described as "lonely girl phenomenology". The writer Rick Moody called it, "one of the most explosive, revealing, lacerating and unusual memoirs ever committed to the page". Later identified as Dick Hebdige, "Dick"'s sporadic presence in Chris's life changes her thinking about her marriage (to philosopher and Semiotext(e) founder Sylvère Lotring ...

Democratic Indira Congress (Karunakaran) (DIC(K)) was a political party in Kerala, India. DIC(K) was founded at a meeting in Thrissur by the K. Karunakuran faction of the Indian National Congress on 1 May 2005. Initially it was called National Congress ( Indira), but the name was changed DIC(K) for registration purposes in August of the same year. Karunakuran's son K. Muraleedharan was the party president. The party allied with the Left Democratic Front in the local elections and made success. But the party was not considered for a tie up during the state assembly elections that followed. The party could not make any impression in the elections as expected. Later, Karunakaran and Muraleedharan, along with some other party members, moved to Nationalist Congress Party. After a brief while, Karunakaran returned to Congress. History The party was formed as a result of internal problems in the Congress Party.

Detective
A detective is an investigator, usually a member of a law enforcement agency. They often collect information to solve crimes by talking to witnesses and informants, collecting physical evidence, or searching records in databases. This leads them to arrest criminals and enable them to be convicted in court. A detective may work for the police or privately. Overview Informally, and primarily in fiction, a detective is a licensed or unlicensed person who solves crimes, including historical crimes, by examining and evaluating clues and personal records in order to uncover the identity and/or whereabouts of criminals. In some police departments, a detective position is achieved by passing a written test after a person completes the requirements for being a police officer. In many other police systems, detectives are college graduates who join directly from civilian life without first serving as uniformed officers. Some argue that detectives do a completely different job and th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
