You could call it Quito
Latest update:
A note for travelers:
"As a native born San Franciscan and avid reader of Herb Caen when he
was alive, any true hipster would know that you don't call it
"Frisco." People who do this are crude and unrefined and not really
San Franciscans."
The odds of a San Franciscan saying "I'm from Frisco":
"It was two years ago [1995] at UC Berkeley when police officers
approached 2 men sleeping under a tree and asked them for
identification.
"We're from Frisco," the men said.
A moment later, they we're in handcuffs.
No, it's not illegal to say "Frisco," though some would like it to
be. But the two men were wanted fugitives from Utah and they gave
themselves away because the officers knew the odds of a San Franciscan
saying "I'm from Frisco" are about as slim as surviving a jump off the
Golden Gate Bridge."
