AW: Call it "Frisco" if I damn well wanna

What would you expect of someone who uses the word "electronica"? That
he doesn't understand shit about the musical genres usually addressed by
that term (like Robert Fripp)?

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.)
