Three definitions for "prick"

one has to do with making holes

one has to do with a body part

the appropriate one, in this case is the third:

prick, (man)/prik/n [C] rude slang: a man you do not like. "She hated
this curly-haired, egotistical prick."

When Tom takes an unprovoked shot at me, he is behaving as if he were
a "rude and unlikable" confrontational prick. Prick is commony used to
describe people without incorporating any reference to a penis.

Perhaps you have a potty mind? Perhaps you haven't come across the
word anywhere except a partition in a bathroom stall?
