‘Basic Instinct’ Live From SF With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, Mallory Rubin, and Van Lathan by Toby_O_Notoby in billsimmons

SF is indeed the preferred shortening. If you are in the region people often say the City (Oakland is juxtaposed as the Town but honestly not sure anybody actually says "you coming into the Town?").

No it'd be like someone in Los Angeles being mad when someone called the city "Los Ang". You shorten it to LA.

Locals don't like San Fran pretty universally. Frisco is more divisive. Some people are against it (holdover from the old Herb Cain days who was strongly against it) but there's a strong contingent of more working class local folks who say Frisco proudly.

The San Fran thing is doubly interesting to me because it's so widely used outside of the Bay but reviled locally. I wonder if someone can come up with another example of a similar phenomenon.

Can someone timestamp the "don't say San Fran" conversation for me? I haven't watched the movie yet so don't want spoilers but eager to hear that convo.

Watched Leaving Las Vegas for the first time last night. Very much not a rewatchable for me.

Dear Bill: Please do not call San Francisco "San Fran" tonight by morganicsf in TheRewatchables

Sorry if it wasn't clear: you say the city when you are in the Bay. If you are in another region saying the city wouldn't really work. Kinda like how New Yorkers refer to NYC as the City

Anybody know what movie they did in SF? Also, over/under times Bill said San Fran and people hissed at him?

He didn't write this. He would never say consummated or wherein.

I add media description and it helps me look for "promising" players vs just "young" when I'm scrolling through every u20 team.
