(UK, Ireland, Commonwealth, derogatory, slang) A stupid or annoying person; a simpleton; a fool.

Origin: In the middle of the 16th century, the meaning was "penis". Probably from penis; boy, man, presumably akin to the slang term inept fool. Alternatively, from the same basis as pillicock (compare regional Norwegian penis) + the diminutive suffix -ock. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
