While Dick is a time-honoured contraction of the name Richard, it is also an euphemism for penis, and in modern times it is frequently used as an insult or curse word.
Dick is also a slang term used to refer to a private investigator or detective. It is a shortened form of detective. Dick Tracy, the famous fictional investigator, had that name from his profession.
"Dick" or "Tricky Dick" is also slang for Richard Nixon.
