Always call it Frisco. It hacks off the effete natives.
When I was stationed there the effete natives would not call it "San Francisco" either. They call it "The City," as in "I have to go back into The City tonight." Under pressure they would admit that places like London were a city - but not The City.
So I made a point of drawling out "Frisco" in my lovely Lower Rio Grande Valley accent (it sounded a lot like Pete Hutter saying "Br-r-r-r-isco" for those who remember Brisco County, Jr.) and it used to drive the effete natives mad.
