If you've never been there, you'll probably never notice it, and hence, it won't grate on you like it does me....
They refer to San Francisco as "The City", as in, the ONLY city worth the moniker of "The City" Hey Gibbler's, San Francisco is not "The City", but rather "A" city.
But those unlovable Frisconian's seem to think that other cities in the U.S. just don't stack up, because they're not cool enough. You know whats not cool, calling yourself cool.
For those out there that would like to piss off people from the bay area, here is what you do, refer to San Francisco as anything but San Francisco or "The City"
Here are some examples that fucking enrage them. Seriously, they are so pretentious that the shake with anger.
- San Fran
- Frisco
- Gayville
- San Frisco
- San Fran Cheesy
- San Frisconia
- West Bay
- The birthplace of Hepatitis C
- Rice a Roni Central
- A suberb of Oakland
- Refer to Sacramento as the epicenter of culture and class in the state
and the winner is:
- Tell them you like L.A. better
Two things that I pondered while there....
- Did "The Strokes" or "The Smashing Pumpkins" write "SOMA" becuase of the San Franciscan district of "Soma", or is it just happenstance?
- Does the bar "Torchy's" from 48 Hours actually exist in the Fillmore?
Answer: Neither song is about the district Soma. And no, much to my chagrin Torchy's does not exist in the Fillmore. I was mildly disappointed that neither were true.
