1. Used to describe potential failure in a given situation if a particular course of action is taken.
2. When you have done something exceptionally stupid causing you to have no progress toward resolution when attempting to solve a problem.
The concept being that it would be stupid, dangerous, and not to mention uncomfortable to step on your own dick. Furthermore, continued forward movement while stepping on
one's own dick might cause additional harm to
said member, while at the same
time you are physically held back because as you proceed forward the forward movement is impeded by
said foot on said dick.
1. "If we try to solve
problem X by doing thing Y it'll be like we're stepping on our own dicks."
2. "I was sawing that 2 x 4 with that rusty ass hand
saw you gave me and it was like I was stepping on my own dick. Where's the motherfucking circular saw?"
First
heard by me in Ithaca, NY about 10 years ago.
