Sorry, i didn't mean to feed into all the stereotypes people have about San Franciscans being effete snobs. I'm not like that, really. Actually I never finished college, if that makes you feel any better.

Lots of people born and raised in SF say Frisco, especially in the lower classes. Lots of people born and raised in SF don't say Frisco, especially in the upper classes. Of course it's not limited by class lines, but that's how it leans. Most tourists and transplants never say Frisco either, because they buy into the stereotype that no one from SF says Frisco, because the upper classes that control the city and its media constantly make a big deal about how it's a bad word to say, and get way more exposure than the hundreds of thousands of current and former SF residents (and other Bay Area residents, hip hop fans and rappers from elsewhere, Hells Angels, etc) who have no problem with the name "Frisco".

That about sums it up.
