I think I understand the Dick part. Now, the Cressida part is more interesting.

Wiki

Cressida (/ˈkrɛsɪdə/; also Criseida, Cresseid or Criseyde) is a character who appears in many Medieval and Renaissance retellings of the story of the Trojan War. She is a Trojan woman, the daughter of Calchas, a Greek seer. She falls in love with Troilus, the youngest son of King Priam, and pledges everlasting love, but when she is sent to the Greeks as part of a hostage exchange, she forms a liaison with the Greek warrior Diomedes. In later culture she becomes an archetype of a faithless lover.

Hmm.... Trojan woman and faithless lover.

“Hmm.... Trojan woman and faithless lover.”

So translated as what...a leaky condom’s trademark and a deadbeat soon to be a dad that can’t be found? LOL!
