Red Dick of Courage 

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.
