Actually the other guy is right..

'My dick was that small'
'My dick were that small'

Which sounds correct?

"Was" if the condition had been true. "Were" if the condition was never true.

So "if my dick WERE that small" would be correct.

Strictly speaking, an 'if' statement like that one should be followed by the past subjunctive 'were', not 'was', which is indicative and thus is making statements about real facts. 'My dick was that small' would mean that your dick, in reality, was small, and shouldn't be preceded by 'if'. When preceded by 'if', it should definitely be 'were'. Alternatively, you could say 'were my dick that small, I would kill myself'.

However, it has become conventional in English, particularly American English, to use the indicative. And besides, grammar nazis are the lowest pond scum on the interbutts.
