LOL

What about if whynona rider or isaiah rider named their kid Richard? Dick Rider ftw.

No but seriously, why the fuck do ppl insist/prefer to be called dick instead of richard? I never got why you would prefer to be referrred to as a male genital, than a common north american first name. Is originality THAT important?

Because unless you're a juvenile, or a juvenile in an adult's body, only kids take amusement in using the context of "dick" as male genitilia as opposed to the standard short term linggo for Richard.

You guys probably snicker when you see a cuss word in a novel don't you.

reminds me of a joke my friend told me,

Three moms and their kids went to see a psychologist. The psychologist was explaining why the moms named their kids the way they did. The psychologist went up to the first mom and said, "you are a botanist, so you are obsessed with flowers, thats why you named your daughter Holly". He goes to the second mom and said, "you are an accountant, you have to be down to the penny exact with money numbers, so you named your daughter Penny". And before the psychologist goes up to the third mom, she say grabs her son and says, "come on Dick, lets go."

they really like dick

First, Suparman. This is, in fact, a very common name among the Javanese who inhabit central and eastern thirds of the island of Java
Quote:

The full name, Batman bin Suparman, features an Arabic patronymic construction occasionally used by Muslims in the region. Bin means 'son', so the name is literally "Batman, son of Suparman".
A commenter says:
Quote:

Batman may be short form for Batmanathan, which is quite a common indian name.

I remember seeing a movie director with the name Dick Bush, and seeing a Dick Pound as an exec in some company.

Also, in a free newspaper my school gets: a guy named Major Wu!
