E94 overprint? What the heck is a Dildock???

I was looking a Leons E94 overprint set and saw the term Dildock, and a few questions came to mind;

1) What the heck is a Dildock?

2) Should I or anyone else be offended by the term.

I only ask question 2 because I asked a co-worker if he knew what a dildock was and I received a very offensive gesture in return. Seriously, I'd like to know so I don't look like a dope here at the office. Can someone post a pic of the overprint so I don't seem crazy?

I believe Opie Dildock was a cartoon charector.

Oppie Dildock?
During that era there was a cartoon strip called "Opie Dildock's Stories."
The cartoons tell wild tales of Oppie's relatives and their adventures
while hunting, fishing, etc. Considering the theme of the cartoon, it isn't surprising this back advertised "suckers"

"Oppie Dildock" Thank you, I just googled it. I actually thought it was some kind of candy treat with an unusual name. The ideas of what it might be here at work were...interesting.

"Dildock" can be used to call someone a card cheat or, more generally, an a**h**e. I think it's a pretty mild insult though. Probably along the lines of "numbnut".
