Please, stop calling it Cali (San Diego: accent, recreational, Colombia)

I didn't say whatever I said goes, get off my back about it. Like I said it was supposed to be an interesting/fun thread yet people seem to think everything is so serious. chill

it's hard to tell the OP was a joke, when most of the material was copied from pissy urbandictionary contributors with sticks up their asses.

You're a bore and no fun. Obviously more people feel the same way I do, than don't.

And a lovely town on the Missouri River!

And SoCalBrad, I couldn't care less if you cared or not!

There! Saved you the trouble of another thoughtless post.

Born in San Diego in 1946 and raised mostly in Newport Beach and never heard it called "Cali" until now.

I get the feeling half the people on this board are old people with no lives, so they like to give a 19 year old trouble because they themselves are bitter that they can't find anything better to do.

And I get the feeling you're a 19-year old, arrogant know-it-all who is, in his own mind, a lot smarter, educated, well read and traveled than us old farts who have actually experienced life for decades outside of Mommy and Daddy's home.

But by all means, keep posting. Such ignorance is vastly entertaining.

If it's nice to get along with people, why are you being snarky?

The only people who care when someone says "Frisco" are uptight, self-satisfied jackasses. In my experience natives don't care; it's the non-natives who make noise about it, feigning offense because they think that's what "real San Franciscans" do... I don't change my vocabulary to please imbeciles.

lol you are the entertaining one. I never said I was a "know it all' or a lot "smarter" than you. nor did I say I was "well read" and more "traveled" than you.

What's arrogant is someone who doesn't even live in California, going into every thread acting like what they say is the end all be all of the forum. Guess what it's not!

Also, I have traveled all around the west. I still have lots of life to experience but I have enjoyed everything I have done and seen so far. I have no idea what me being young has anything to do with "arrogance" or "ignorance". I think it's you who needs to take your head out of your a*s and quit being so judgemental.

Such prudeness is vastly entertaining

Who really cares? There are more important things going on in the world right now, I'm sure.
