"Solid dick" was slang for "hard truth" back in the time when this issue was published

I was thinking that too, but apparently not?? Here's the original panel

Huh, TIL. To be frank I was just parroting some tidbit I heard last time this was posted. Now I don't know what to believe

Good on you, mate. I certainly won't be spreading this factoid around anymore!

How nice of Iron Man to make this friendly offer. I'm sure Captain America appreciated it.
