“Don’t be a dick”

In the interests of equality can this rule be also referred to as ‘don’t be a vagina/vageen/vjj’ or perhaps it’s time just for mods,cmods and admins to stop using the term altogether?

Slow news day?

"Don't be a dick" isn't a phrase unique to Boards.

So says Tiki Wang Wang. Is that not a euphemism for the same anatomical body part?
