Here's an example:

@gruber@mastodon.social dickmodals? dickboxes? (they’re something called lightboxes)

@gruber@mastodon.social Dickalog didn’t make the cut?

@gruber@mastodon.social It’s a panel made by dicks, therefore it’s a Dickpanel. Dickover is just a poor attempt to be too cute and doesn’t actually explain what it is. That’s my take anyways. 😊

@gruber@mastodon.social I guess “dickpops” would be inappropriate

@kamalesh@social.vivaldi.net 2026-05-15 01:53
@gruber@mastodon.social Or “dickdialog”…? 😉

@gruber@mastodon.social I for sure had “dickover” in a rout. Currently at -125, seems like I misread the public.

@gruber@mastodon.social dickpanel is a thing. dickover is an action. I do love dickover, but it is basically a polite _to fuck over_.

@gruber@mastodon.social “Dickboxes” shares most of those letters and would be more widely understood, no?

@gruber@mastodon.social dick over is the best because it functions both as a noun and a verb. that's not necessarily the gold standard for naming things, but when answering the question "did you read that substack i sent you?" "no, the dickover dicked me over" 👌
-
@tydalforce@mastodon.world 2026-05-15 10:57
@gruber@mastodon.social That's a dickpanel, and as you said in another reply, the thing that comes up from the bottom is a "dickbar" I think a "dickover" is the opposite of a "dickbar"; something that comes down from the top like those annoying Notification prompts (Does anyone every click Allow on those??)

@gruber@mastodon.social Exactly why I like Safari’s ‘hide distracting items’ which also works for many paywall blocks on articles.

@akironhead@mastodon.social 2026-05-15 12:58
@gruber@mastodon.social I’ve been calling it a docblock, but of your two options dickpanel is the best.
-
@nichols@social.vivaldi.net 2026-05-15 13:33
@gruber@mastodon.social close call – both are good. voted for "panel" b/c "over" sounds more like a verb

@jake@furry.engineer 2026-05-15 14:37
@gruber@mastodon.social I personally like “modal dickover” as the official or technical term, optionally shortened.

@slaven@mastodon.social 2026-05-15 14:44
@gruber@mastodon.social I love the sound of dickover, but I think dickpanel is more descriptive

@gruber@mastodon.social Dickblock was right there.

@wilhem@mastodon.social 2026-05-15 15:28
@gruber@mastodon.social A “modal dick-dialog” ?

@Moeskido@mastodon.social 2026-05-15 18:18
@gruber@mastodon.social It's not a panel. "Dickover" makes more sense to me.
