Morphology

small + dick + energy

The phrase uses literal constituents ('small' + 'dick' + 'energy') to form a metaphorical label for a particular negative 'vibe'—so a learner who knows the words could guess it refers to a diminished or insecure type of attitude. However, the expression is slang, vulgar and culturally specific (internet meme usage) and its precise connotations (insecurity, overcompensation, aggressive posturing) are not fully predictable from the parts, making full comprehension unlikely without exposure.

Etymology

The slang small dick energy uses a rude image of a small dick to mock someone who acts loud or aggressive because they feel insecure. So it means 'insecurity' or 'trying too hard to seem powerful' and is used as an insult.
