“nerd” and"loser" were like hard hitting insults in the early 2000’s and now they are used as affectionate terms we have truly come full circle

Sorry, but no, we did a 180. A full circle would mean we went back to them as insults

Why do Americans call ‘Richard’s ‘dick’ and ‘Robert’s ‘Bob’ I don’t get it

I can explain this! Richard and Robert are English names originally, and for a while, rhyming slang was a quite common in Cockney English. Basically it’s just nicknaming shit with random words that rhyme with it. So you’d call the stairs “apples and pears” or the telephone the “dog-and-bone”. So as Rick is slang for Richard, “Dick” became slang for “Rick” because, well, it rhymed. Same goes for Rob and Bob. This construction has all but fallen out of use, and Dick and Bob are the final hangers-on of this weird little trend.

OHHHHHHHH. I learn something new every day I’m on here.

but seriously when did we all start saying “yo”

Actually, if you really want to know, “Io” (pronounced “yo”) was a Latin … exclamation that sort of meant “Oh” or “Hey”. The common greeting for the holiday of Saturnalia was “Io Saturnalia!”

So we started saying “yo” about 2500 years ago, give or take a few hundred years.

yooooooo

Further back, we get the Greek ‘ἰώ’, an exclamation used in dramatic poetry.
