That's the only time I refer to it as Cali. California is a long word and it gets tiring to type it over and over again. Same for Washington.

So what to Cali people think of Washington? Just kidding.

That was funny! It took me a long time to correct people here in TX that were were not from Cali. You can usually tell people that aren't from CA when they use Cali.

Hey Frisco in is TX, the DFW area.

Exactly, "Frisco" is said by all locals born and raised in the city that I know.
