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.)
