The adverb form of 'dickish' — meaning in a manner that is needlessly rude, selfish, unhelpful, or aggressive. If someone acts dickishly, they're being unpleasant in a way that feels deliberate: cutting people off, ignoring requests, talking down to others, or generally making life difficult without any real justification. The word is satisfying because it is very precise — not violently bad, not criminally bad, just reliably, irritatingly, small-mindedly bad. Widely used online and in casual speech among adults.
He could have just said no, but instead he responded dickishly in front of the entire team, which made everyone uncomfortable.
