Origin of term dickweed?

Answer 1

This guy says hes used the term for 7 years and thinks he inventeted it. I can tell you that 25 years ago I began using the term. It is a variation on dillweed. Which was not first used by Bevis and Butthead contrary too what some may think. Within our group Dillweed was a term used to describe someone stupid enough to buy dillweed as marijuana. To the uninitiated it just sounded silly. To those who were in on the scam it was a signal. Don't show this guy real weed, don't smoke what he has, don't tell him what he has. Dickweed was simply a more straight foward dirogatory term, after a time it just became part of our lexicon. I also belive there's a sort of Joungian collective consience at work as this term was only used among a small group of people for the porpose's of this definiton. I find it hard to believe it was only this group that bread and spread the word world wide.
