- Sense 1 is SOP, yes, but it's already so marked. Sense 2 is idiomatic, since no dicks are involved. I would go so far as to remove the reference to measuring masculinity, since I've heard it used for other stupid contests.

- Keep the figurative sense at least, per -sche. Equinox ◑ 01:50, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
- Of course keep. SemperBlotto (talk) 08:20, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per - -sche. Pissing contest was one of my earlier entries, and this seems to be along the same lines. Seems to have plenty of usage including in books. --Dmol (talk) 08:42, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per user -sche: sense 2 is idiomatic (WT:CFI#Idiomaticity). --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
- Speedy RFD kept: the arguments are obvious above, and the support is unanimous but for the nominator who seems inexperienced about Wiktionary per Special:Contributions/Tecfan. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:53, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
