Morphology

stick + its + dick + in

The literal decomposition is clear: 'stick' + 'in' = insert, and 'dick' = penis, so a learner can infer a crude image of inserting a penis which naturally maps onto an intrusive, meddling action. However, the phrase is a vulgar sexual metaphor whose figurative extension to 'interfere' is idiomatic and register-sensitive, so the exact pragmatic meaning and usage may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Stick its dick in may come from a rough image of someone sticking a dick into something they should not touch and making a bigger mess. That's why it now means 'to interfere' or 'to get involved in a messy problem'.
