Re: Call it "Frisco" if I damn well wanna
I always thought of "Frisco" as a convenient way to differentiate the
tourists. Similar to people wearing shorts in summer. Or people who use
the
word "electronica".
It's not offensive, it just gives locals a reason to look down our noses
in
disdain at the poor wretch from the hinterlands. :-)
Real old timers don't even call it San Francisco. It is simply "The City".
(capitalized, of course.)
