English term or phrase: Dickweed
Il termine è estratoo dalla seguente frase:"dick is something of a standard insult term; one even finds it on television in mutated forms such as dickweed and dickwad."

Mi scuso per il contenuto volgare del thread ma sto traducendo uno studio sullo slang americano.
Ho consultato dei monolingua di slang ma vorrei conoscere anche la traduzione che ne danno i blilingue di slang americano/italiano. Qualcuno ha uno dei dizionari di zanichelli (WOW etc...) o altri dizionari. Potreste dirmi che definizione riportano per 'dickweed'?

Grazie
Gabriella Pierro
Italian translation:cazzone
Explanation:
Sono d'accordo anche per "testa di cazzo" anche se in italiano ha una connotazione lievemente più forte; ti do anche questa alternativa che sento con "allarmate" frequenza fra i figli di miei amici americani..
