Morphology
dickheaded + remark
The compound 'dickheaded' is slang and derogatory rather than a standard lexical item, so its precise nuance (stupid, obnoxious, thoughtless) is not fully predictable from 'dick' + 'headed' even if a learner knows those words. A B1 learner who knows the constituents may infer offensiveness or that the speaker means someone is being rude or foolish, but the informal register and specific meaning require exposure, making the phrase only partially transparent.
Etymology
Dickheaded remark comes from the insult dickhead, a rude word for someone who is stupid or mean. So a dickheaded remark is a comment that sounds rude or thoughtless — in other words, 'offensive' or 'foolish'.
