Cambridge Dictionary of American English, 1999 edition, page 673.
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?
You need to consult a better dictionary. I recall sending you one.
