Experts from a US museum believe it could be one of the oldest examples of advanced surgery. The Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma said the skull is reported to have been that of a man who was injured in battle before undergoing surgery to implant a piece of metal in his head to repair a fracture.

My bet is they are Australian. We call dickheads “dickhead” for all sorts of reasons not just because they’re a dickhead.

Sorry about that, I assumed you were being a dickhead and it turns out you're just some dickhead. Fair enough!

I said to shoot across her nose, not up it!

Sorry sir I’m doing the best I can.

Who’s that?

That’s Dickhead sir.

I know that but what’s his name?

That is his name sir. Major Dickhead.

Well who hired him?

I did sir! He’s my brother.

He’s a Dickhead too, sir.

How many Dickheads do we HAVE on this ship?!?

YO!

I knew it. I’m surrounded by Dickheads. KEEP FIRING, Dickheads.

So if I understand you correctly "dickhead" in this context is not an insult? 🤨

Not really. It’s like saying you’re just another idiot on the internet, not an expert. It CAN be an insult, but in the context above it wasn’t, or at least only a gentle one.

Edit to say, remember we are the people that call our best friends fuckhead and our enemies mate. And vice-versa.
