That said. Play bouncer. Spock knows, academically, what a bouncer is and what they do. "In this exchange, I am the establishment you are preventing well-meaning but impolite Terrans from gaining entrance to?"

"I am aware," he clarifies, "of what the word 'dick' means and why it is generally unused in polite and professional company. Hence my request for clarification on the further colloquial use of it as it did not seem to fit previous definitions I had encountered, which I believe, in many situations, would be considered a positive thing to be."
