The Dick Effect
The Dick Effect is a podcast that aims to decode the language of our society.
Our everyday language is peppered with phrases that we don't think about before using. Whether it's men to women, women to women, men to men, people to people, there are dick things that we say to each other. We want to talk about this language, look at where it comes from and ask you all, just take a second to think about what it means to you before you use it again.
Women swearing is so unladylike!
Boys will be boys!
Ah give us a smile love!
I'm not like other girls!
You'll feel different when it's your own!
Grow some balls man!
Are you on your period or something?
Girls with tattoos are sluts!
She's just a prick tease!
What were you wearing?
