"DIck" means penis. As such it can be used in a number of different ways, all varying with context. "Don't dick around with me" can be playful, meaning "don't joke with me", or it can be deadly serious, meaning"If you lie to me I'll kill you". It all depends upon the context. I would follow Rainy's advice, "just don't use that word".
