re: It's never okay to call San Francisco "San Fran"; "Frisco" is okay.

Thank you.

It is San Francisco.

Also, you never call it Frisco. No one calls it fricking Frisco. That's retarded.
Don't Call it Frisco
quote:

A 1918 article in the Examiner recounts the opprobrium heaped upon a divorce petitioner following his fourth utterance of the term "Frisco" during testimony.

"No one refers to San Francisco by that title except people from Los Angeles," snapped the judge. "I am the chairman of the City Council of Defense and I warn you that you stand in danger of being interned as an alien enemy. Don't do it again."

The petitioner admitted wrongdoing and avoided incarceration. Incidentally, he was from Los Angeles.



ETA: apparently San Fran is equally despised.
