Morphology
The idiomatic meaning (‘being unprepared or caught off guard’) does not follow from the literal meanings of 'dick' + 'in' + 'one's' + 'hand'; a learner who knows the words will likely interpret a literal, vulgar image rather than infer the figurative sense. This expression is culturally marked and metaphorical, so its intended meaning is unpredictable without prior exposure and thus opaque to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Dick in one's hand paints a rude image of someone standing holding their dick in their hand, exposed and unsure how to act. That's why it means 'unprepared' or 'embarrassed'.
