I call California, California but to call someone lazy for shorteninn it is very trivial, you beed to get a life, a partner, a hobby or all three.
I have all three, genius, and I have more brains than to call my place of residence "Cali". Done here.

I've actually never heard anyone say it in real life, but I see it written online, all the time. If people are using Cali because California is "too long to write out," no one gets upset about CA, and it's even shorter.

I can see that some might find typing an extra six letters would be exhausting.

We're tough around here. We don't mess around. If you're not using proper grammar or the correct terminology, we'll call you on it. Well, some will anyway.

Really? You don't get out much do you. I see people shot, stabbed, poisoned, run over, pushed in front of trains, thrown in vats of boiling oil, fed to packs of lions, locked in snake pits with vipers, - and even forced to read drivel on C-D on a daily basis for saying "Cali".

I have a friend who says it. I personally roll my eyes and laugh every time he does though, because he was raised in California like me but has been living in New York for several years now. Seems to be something that people who aren't actually from California say.
