Humble Pie
dick·er (dkr) KEY intr.v. dick·ered , dick·er·ing , dick·ers
To bargain; barter. NOUN:
The act or process of bargaining.
ETYMOLOGY: Probably from dicker, a quantity of ten, ten hides, from Middle English diker, perhaps from Old English *dicor, from Latin decuria, set of ten, from decem, ten; see dek in Indo-European roots
So how does it taste? I won't mention any names, you know who you are... I told you "dicker" was a word! I hope you all feel extremely guilty for embarrassing me and making my face turn red.

Actually no, I was using it in a conversation at dinner. Four people told me that it was not a word and gave me a hard time about it!
