dicking
v.— «The paras knew they were being watched—the sort of apparently casual, apparently civilian, yet purposeful surveillance the British army calls “dicking”—but there was no violence. The paras went unmolested on patrol; they wore soft hats. Then, one night in late June, everything changed.» —“In their minds, all they want to do is kill English soldiers” by James Meek Guardian (United Kingdom) Oct. 14, 2006.
