Vocabulary Enrichment Lesson

“Dick flick” (n): The male movie equivalent of “chick flick.” Opposed to a romantic comedy (the basic chick flick standard) a dick flick would consist of monster movies (without heart/a good script) or sensationalist predator/prey model movies. This could mean monster predators or werewolves, zombies, slasher-type films, etc.
This genre also includes unabashed testosterone-fueled movies having to do solely with fighting, starring ‘roid-pumped heroes with no discernible cause to fight for. Another hint that you are watching a dick flick: it could contain stereotypically hot, scantily clad female character(s) who have very few lines--all of which are self-evident observations, constantly revealing her vulnerability/inferior intellectual makeup.

Using dick flick in a sentence:

“Crank: High Voltage” was the worst dick flick I’ve ever been forced to suffer through.
