Morphology
cheesedick + move
The key element 'cheesedick' is an informal, slang coinage without a clear literal meaning from its parts, so its evaluative sense ('foolish, cowardly, lacking integrity') cannot be derived from 'cheese' or the vulgar element 'dick'. Knowing 'move' as 'action' only yields 'some kind of action' and does not allow a B1 learner to predict the pejorative, culture-specific sense, making the phrase idiomatic and unpredictable.
Etymology
The phrase cheesedick move may come from a rude, comic image: imagine someone acting soft and silly like a piece of cheese, while dick is a rude insult for a small or mean person. So, the phrase is used for an action that is 'foolish', 'cowardly' or 'not honest'.
