You Ask Him Nicely
why is bob short for robert how does one get ‘billy’ out of ‘william’? How in hell do you get “Dick” from “Richard”? you ask him nicely
A screenshot of a nested text conversation joking about confusing nicknames and shortened names. After asking how “Dick” comes from “Richard,” the punchline is simply: “you ask him nicely.” It is used as a dry, absurd reaction to questions that seem to demand an unnecessarily complicated explanation.
