I worked with a guy named Richard ______. He went by Dick. He would make everybody use his name, Dick. You would not believe the lengths (no pun) people would go to so as to not say the word. He would publicly call you out on it. I happened to read an article about lesbians that live on Lesbos. I guess some Lesbians object to the dual usage and even took it to court. You can guess which ones. I wonder what Dick would think?
I think he is being a little rich. I worked with one who insisted on being called Rick. He was obnoxious. In my mind I always spelled it with a silent “P”.
