Oxford English Dictionary Adds “Bag of Dicks” to Its Official Lexicon

In a moment sure to delight lovers of colorful language everywhere, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has officially added the phrase “bag of dicks” to its pages. Yes, you read that correctly, “bag of dicks” is now a dictionary entry.

The newly-included term is labeled as “coarse slang,” with the definition: “In various expressions used to convey hostile or contemptuous dismissal, esp. to suck (or eat) a bag of dicks (frequently in imperative).”

This inclusion isn’t just a one-off shock entry. It’s part of OED’s ongoing mission to document the evolving nature of language, especially how casual, internet-fueled, and often vulgar phrases have permeated everyday conversation.

While the phrase may not be the sort of thing you’d drop into a wedding toast (unless it’s that kind of wedding), it’s definitely found a long-standing home in the corners of pop culture, meme culture, and online forums where creativity and crassness go hand in hand.

Like other recent additions such as “FAFO” and “smh,” this one reflects how online slang continues to shape the English language. And as always, Oxford’s additions aim not to endorse usage, but to acknowledge and record the way people really speak and write today.

So the next time someone tells you to go eat a bag of dicks, you’ll know they’re speaking proper English.
