A fork of Rural Dictionary
A "bit of a dick" is literally a subsection of a penis, as for example the foreskin might be. Especially after it is detached from the main. However the meaning is metaphorical, and is distinct from being an "utter dick" a "complete dick" and variations of the same. "Being a dick" (utter, complete, etc) is to have a tiny thread of logic to your words or actions, while completely missing the point, being socially autistic, probably causing offence and maybe causing physical harm to an innocent. Being a "bit of a dick" is therefore to meet the above criteria, but to be too personally insignificant to really cause more than a flicker of annoyance or a moment of disdain. Something like being head-butted by an angry chicken.
Everyone agreed the traffic warden was being a bit of a dick for ticketing the ambulance as the paramedics gave first aid by the roadside.
