Yeah it's a reference to the character Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights.
Old, but still good.

This was new to me though. I never knew the item existed before. And what's even more funny was when it dropped, I thought it was just some random dirk. Then AFG said it was a diggler and I thought he called it that just because it was a dirk. I laughed pretty damn hard.
There is one other item that is a reference to a character/movie somewhere in the game, and it's not the Blade of Ali Baba (that one is way to obvious), but I can never remember what it is.

I've found it millions of times ebfore as well, I never knew it was a reference though.
Dirty jokes? What, now they have a dirty meaning to them now? Wait, don't explain it. I ave no idea how this is dirty, and for me, thats a miracle. So lets leave it at that, LOL.

How did THAT explain the dirty joke meaning? Boogie Nights is a solid movie btw, i havent seen it in ages tho, but Dirk Diggler... lol what a great name
what part of "and it's not the Blade of Ali Baba" did you people not understand.
I said the other item that is a reference to something is not that blade.
Some times in Diablo the reference are nt as obvious as the world of warcraft ones.
1. The inscription on a couple of weapons (the Finkle’s Lava Dredger and Finkle’s Skinner) says, “Property of Finkle Einhorn, Grandmaster Adventurer.” Ace Ventura fans will recognize this from the moment near the end of the movie when Ace figures out that Lois Einhorn is, in fact, ex-Miami Dolphins footballer Ray Finkle. “Einhorn is Finkle! Finkle is Einhorn! Einhorn is a man!”
2. In the town of Stormwind, there’s a traveling salesman who goes by the name Antonio Pirelli. In both the theater and recent movie versions of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, there’s a traveling hair tonic salesman named Adolfo Pirelli. Coincidence?? Not in my book.
3. This one’s a little trickier. In one of the large cities in the game, Stormwind, there’s a flower shop owner named Bernard Gump. Florist Gump. Get it?
4. If you head to a town called Lakeshire and train with the fisherman there, you might be getting more of a lesson than you bargained for: the trainer’s name is Matthew Hooper. Richard Dreyfuss played shark expert Matt Hooper in Jaws.
5. More naming fun. In the Eastern Plaguelands, there’s a priest named Father Inigo Montoy, which is just one letter away from Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride (“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”)
6. The creators must be fans of The Princess Bride, because the stable master in the town of Southshore is named Wesley. That’s not quite the same as the stable boy Westley in The Princess Bride, but it’s close enough that it had to be intentional. Right?
7. Another movie that gets multiple references is Silence of the Lambs. One quest requires players to get an ogre tannin out of a basket. The second the tannin is removed, an ogre runs after the player yelling, “It puts the tannin in the basket or else it gets the club again!” This is a combination of Buffalo Bill’s “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again,” and “It places the lotion in the basket.”
8. There’s a blacksmith in the town of Darkshire who sometimes mumbles about hearing the lambs scream. Her name just happens to be Clarise.
9. Visit the city of Orgrimmar and you’ll have the chance to check out a shop called “Boomstick Imports”. Bruce Campbell would be proud.
10. My favorite category of movies – the horror genre – does not go unnoticed in the World of Warcraft (which is only appropriate since it’s crawling with the undead, ghouls, zombies and banshees). The innkeeper in Undercity is named Innkeeper Norman and the innkeeper of Sepulcher is named Innkeeper Bates… see, Norman Bates, our favorite Psychopath hotel manager.
11. The trick in the bullet above – giving two people of the same profession names that relate to one another – is a favorite trick of the WoW game designers. Next time you visit Undercity, take notice of the auctioneer there. His name is Yarly. Not something you’d think much of, right? But if you travel to Stranglethorn Vale and check out the auctioneer there, you’ll see that his name is O’Reely. O’Reely and Yarly is a reference to the “O RLY? YA RLY!” owls of Internet fame.
12. There’s a kitty at the start of the Naxxramas instance whose name is Mr. Bigglesworth… AKA Dr. Evil’s cat in the Austin Powers movies.
13. It isn’t just movies that are referenced. The punk movement also gets a little love from the good people of Blizzard Entertainment. In the Alterac Mountains, there’s a non-playable character named Nancy Vishas. This is likely a nod to Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen, whom he stabbed to death in 1978.
14. Finally, not one, but two Homestar Runner references. First, a non-playable character in the Searing Gorge named Master Smith Burninate…. as in the Strongbad drawing Trogdor the Burninator. I wonder if there’s a poorly-drawn dragon lurking somewhere that I haven’t found yet. The second reference is a bad guy named Jorb. This may or may not be a reference to the Homestar short “A Jorb Well done” where Coach Z is unable to pronounce the word ‘job’ correctly.
15. In the forest of Elwyn in the logging camp there is a lumberjack called Terry Palin. This is a reference to Terry Gillian and Michael Palin of Monty Python fame, and their Lumberjack skit.
