    It’s the #1 swearword in Finland, too.

    I wonder if the other person would have objected if you’d used “dick” instead.

      Outside of the US, that meaning fell away and/or changed in some places quite sometime ago. I know it's difficult for a certain type of American to envisage a world outside of their own borders but believe it or not, it does exist and even has different cultural language evolutions.
