A conflict in which two parties (ususally male) are vehemently disputing something of limited relevance. Generally, both parties are somewhat wrong, but each refuses to be back down for fear of being thought the have the smaller of their two penises. Similar to a pissing match, but generally, the conflict involved involves a larger element of machismo, and continues on only because neither side wants to be seen as the one who backs down.
The White House and the Conservative Right have been in a real dick measuring contest over the qualifications of this new Supreme Court apointee, Harriet Meiers.

Get the contessa mug.1. A competition in urinating, most likely to see who is able to urinate the farthest or for longest time. Mostly done between males, although I'm not ruling out the female possibility.
2. An argument where each participant is merely attempting to out-do the other one, not for the sake of the truth coming out, but simply to win. (see pure heavy metal fans of any type of metal, the most uppity in the world.)
3. Two or more parties simply attempting to out-do one another, not for the sake of truly believing in their cause, but just to win in order to gain some kind of power, honour, or reward of some kind. (see politics, particularly Australian politics; see also university philosophy students if there is such a definition)
For good examples of #2 and #3, try Linkin Park, Metallica, Blink 182, George W. Bush, America, John Kerry, Religion, Football, Britain, Airsoft, Paintball, Punk, Skater, Goth, Rap and Ska
