- flir 5y agoJust in case you don't know, it's rhyming slang that stuck around. Richard -> Rick -> Dick. William -> Will -> Bill.
- BrandoElFollito 5y agoYes, I read about the historical aspect a few years ago. This said, I am still amazed that someone is fine with that (some "Richards" I discussed with presented themselves as "Rich", and some willingly as "Dick")
