Refers to a situation in which your wife or girlfriend screwed you over/caused harm to you, but you don't want to lose face by admitting that she screwed you over, so you cover it up and make her out to be the hero/helpful. (May or may not be because she had good reason.
Dude 1: Wait, so bonnie didn't help you clean up your parents place after? That's what you told your folks.
Dude 2: Bonnie? Hell no - she messed it up. I just gave my folks the "Elin acted courageously" spiel, so I wouldn't have to hear about what a loser of a girl she is.

To take pride in the fact that you are hated, persecuted, or criticized by someone you have no respect for. The person you have no respect for considers you a dick, but you proudly tout the moniker as a sign that you are, in fact, capable and reasonable. Such pride can be manifested by the moniker's recipient by a laminated badge on one's chest in the form of red male genitalia. Refers to Stephen Crane's civil war novel "Red Badge of Courage."
A: My boss is a total fuck-up-- I had to single-handedly save the project; yet he thinks I'M a dick. He gave me a horrible work evaluation. But I don't care, it's my Red Dick of Courage.
B: Ah, so that explains the penis on your lapel.

A sense of security felt by employees of large corporations whereby workers can voice their opinions on sensitive or risky topics over a conference call instead of speaking up in a meeting and being recognized. This also applies when the employee is just too embarrassed to be seen when asking a question even though his identity is known.
Andy: So do you have the balls to challenge the CEO during his all-employee meeting on his new sexual harassment policy?
Eric: Hell no, but I have dial-up courage so I'll just call in from my desk and ask.
Andy: You are a pussy.
