35. Sir, your argument there is silly
It lacks common sense. If someone calls another person a dick, it means they think the person is acting in a stupid manner. As you know anyway, using this phrase simply does not confer on the speaker bigotry against all men.

Your attempt to be purely logical here has resulted in you making this incorrect assumption. This may say something about your overall attempt to codify words so that their usage in and of itself can be seen as evidence of bigotry.
