dicktionary

A "humorous" dictionary/penis hybrid? No GBooks results for "his huge dicktionary" as given in the usage example. Equinox ◑ 20:24, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

I can certainly cite it: (See this, this, and this). Also:

2007, Andrew De Prisco, Woof!: A Gay Man's Guide to Dogs, page 200:

... updated annually, continues to be gay men's most reliable travel "dicktionary"— always worth cruising and perusing.

which does not have a preview to link to. However, I don't really feel that these support the idea that it is a word - more, it is a deliberate misspelling (as opposed to the unintentional misspellings referred to by Etymology 2???). It does not seem a very common misspelling, so I am inclined to delete the whole entry -- but perhaps that is more a question for Requests for deletion. Should I call this cited and move it to requests for deletion? Kiwima (talk) 23:05, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

AFAIK, a deliberate "misspelling" is just an {{alternative spelling of}} + usage labels or usage notes, and is includable. Something is a {{misspelling of}} if someone presumably didn't mean to spell it that way in the first place (e.g., typoed it) or presumably would've spelled it the "standard" way had they known their way was not it, but if the context makes it clear that they meant to blend dick into the word to invoke the connotations of dick, it's not a "misspelling" in any way I'm aware of this site using that term, but just e.g. a {{en|rare|nonstandard|humorous}} {{alternative spelling of}}, like Winterpeg or eggceptional (or, more generally, hugemongous or misunderestimate). - -sche (discuss) 07:49, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

In that case, this is RFV-passed. Kiwima (talk) 21:13, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

@Kiwima Since you closed this RFV as passed, please add three citations. It still has none. Equinox ◑ 17:58, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
