  • Origin and evolution of the pejorative slang

    In the mid-17th century, dick became slang for a man as a sexual partner.[5] For example, in the 1665 satireThe English Rogue by Richard Head, a “dick” procured to impregnate a character that is having difficulty conceiving:

    The next Dick I pickt up for her was a man of a colour as contrary to the former, as light is to darkness, being swarthy; whose hair was as black as a sloe; middle statur’d, well set, both strong and active, a man so universally tryed, and so fruitfully successful, that there was hardly any female within ten miles gotten with child in hugger-mugger, but he was more than suspected to be Father of all the legitimate. Yet this too, proved an ineffectual Operator.[6]

    An 1869 slang dictionary offered definitions of dickincluding “a riding whip” and an abbreviation of dictionary, also noting that in the North Country, it was used as a verb to indicate that a policeman was eyeing the subject.[7] The term came to be associated with the penis through usage by men in the military around the 1880s.[1]

  • I would go for an M1 Air or Pro from 2020 or later, and definitely get 16gb of ram. Do not not worry about internal storage as there are always numerous cloud storage options if really necessary. Facebook marketplace is a good source, or OfferUp. Apple stuff is the most reliable out there, software and hardware. They are built like tanks, and almost never actually suffer ‘blue screen of death’ software issues or anything like that. Plus no viruses. I have a Macbook with me in the room from like 2008; it powers up and works like a charm. I also feel Apple is one of the better options privacy wise.
