A native pointed this out to me while I was visiting. You do not call San Francisco frisco. Apparently, the people there really, really hate that.

Sf denizens are an oh so delicate and precious bunch. Agreed.

Proper names for SF include: San Francisco, SF, the City, and occasionally San Fran. 'frisco will make you lose all credibility around here.

Two areas of SF are pretty bad: Hunter's Point / Bayview, and the Tenderloin. Personally I never really go there on foot, and I'm fine. If I must go there, I'll drive of catch a cab.

There's also a real city in CA by that name, so people may assume you mean that, not SF.

According to Google Maps: Frisco, TX, Frisco, NC, Frisco, AL but no Frisco, CA.

You have a reference for that one?
