Morphology
dicktionary + of + insult
This phrase is a nonce pun blending 'dick' + 'dictionary' to mean a (humorous) dictionary of insults. While the relation to 'dictionary' and 'insult' makes the intended meaning partly recoverable, understanding depends on recognizing the blend and the slang sense of 'dick', so it is not fully predictable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Dicktionary of insult is a playful name that mixes dick, a slang word for a rude person, and dictionary, a book of words, creating the image of a book full of 'insults'. That's why people use it jokingly to mean a big list of insults or to say someone seems to know many rude lines.
