Tighter Than Dick's Hatband

"Tighter than dick's hatband" should be "tighter than a dick's hatband" and could be written as "tighter than a detective's hatband". A phrase referring to the band on their hat and has nothing to do with the male anatomy. I believe this is a Prohibition Era phrase.

It fit tighter than dick's hatband. This should be "It fit tighter than a dick's hatband".
