Rich Men

Words are important. I have written about this before when I discussed the P-word.

This is about another word. I have a co-worker named Richard. He goes by Dick. And for the life of me, I dance (pussy-foot) around his name. Because I just don't want to call him by Dick.

Now I don't know how the name Richard changed. I mean James to Jim (starts with the same letter), and William to Bill (sounds similar with the double-L). I get those. But Richard to Dick. How the heck does someone say, "the IC in my name is precious to me, I think I will keep it." Oh, crap, I forgot to use my MAN VOICE. Men don't use the word "precious". But you get the point. A little plug: I did write about a guy with computer name IC in a previous post. Maybe his real name is Richard.

The names just don't sound similar at all to me. Was there some well-hung stud named Richard a long time ago, and when the women would gossip about him, it went something like this.

Victoria: "I saw Richard again last night. He rode me like bronco. Goodness, I loved him mounting my arse."

Henrietta: "Richard. Not sure I know that stallion." (Leesa note: I know nothing about horses, and I hope stallion is a male horse.)

Victoria: "He lives in Windsor. He has some grey in his side burns."

Jillian: "I don't know him either."

Victoria: (blushing) "And he has the biggest dick."

Henrietta: "Oh, that's his name. We just call him dick."

Why can't I just call Richard something like Rich. That seems to be a nice name. And I like rich guys!
