Help[Opinions] Re: Oh, you all are so young!
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
Sure, people my age and younger have little access to the normalcy of the name Dick for people who're from previous, Dickful generations. But almost every person who has responded here, qualified their disapproval with exemptions for older men; and besides, it wasn't us who stopped using it. It's not dumb to rule out the name Dick for babies today (you sound sorta like you're saying it is).
[I think I know why Cheney still calls himself Dick... it's not much different from Condoleezza calling herself that and not Connie, or Scooter calling himself Scooter (power statement -- like Cicero). Besides, Dick's no politician.]
I feel dumb for this, but even I, with my mediocre breeding, honestly never noticed the humor in the names John Waters and John Bowles. Thanks for the giggle. I'm sure now I'll think twice about the full name of every John I meet, looking for more potty jokes.
