Again, like I've mentioned many times before, I am so lost when it comes to these slang terms. But correct me if I am wrong, didn't today's language change the word "prick" from describing a penis change into a condescending term to describe a person? I have heard my friends call each other pricks before, and normally they say it as to categorize someone in a level that is a little but above being a jerk. Now thinking of this, I am also somewhat confused and am not sure which side to take on, Marshall's or Piekarski's?

Well the idea behind calling a jerk-like person a prick is that they are a jerk because of their unsatisfactory penis, to the best of my knowledge. It's kindof a synecdoche type thing. Like calling a woman a cunt (which is a horrible thing to do by the way) means that she is the nasty type of person represented by her vagina.
