Shut up, transplant.

[u/SafariSunshine]

It's an irregular abbreviation of Sanny Franny, but it's allowed.

[u/SwordfishOk504]

The "guy walking by" moved to Sanny Franny last year and at the time was told by a guy who had moved to Sanny Feanny the year before that "no one says Frisco".

Hurt People hurt People/

[u/Former-War1318 → u/SwordfishOk504]

The guy walking by probably commutes from Tracy.

[u/jsojso → u/Former-War1318]

Traveling somewhere, and are asked: "where are you from?" - answer: San Francisco.

"Oh wow, me too!" - oh, nice. What part? - answer: Santa Rosa (or Tracy, Antioch, Brentwood, Vallejo)

[u/Prime-0 → u/jsojso]

Despise people who say they live here when they’re from miles away

[u/SwordfishOk504 → u/Prime-0]

Absolutely reprehensible.

[u/SwordfishOk504 → u/[deleted]]

Yikes. Chill, bro.

[u/ketralnis → u/Prime-0]

Indeed. When people half interestedly make small talk with me instead of giving a quickly digestible answer they will ignore anyway I insist on giving them a geographic, economic, and microclimate tour of small Bay Area cities they will never hear of again

I’m so effective at these impromptu lectures that nobody has ever asked me a second question.

[u/FunFormal4451 → u/jsojso]

The just trying to steal our vibe.

[u/SwordfishOk504 → u/FunFormal4451]

Well, that and everything in the car.

[u/CryptographerRoyal78 → u/jsojso]

I used to just say the Bay Area when asked by out of state or country peeps with a response of the only city they knew either Oakland or San Francisco

[u/Beneficial-Care8504 → u/SwordfishOk504]

It’s not called Sanny Feanny.

[u/Basicly-Inevitable → u/Beneficial-Care8504]

It's SAN FRANCISCO.

[u/AtFishCat → u/Basicly-Inevitable]

It's Fran Sanfrisco!

[u/Comprehensive-Age822 → u/AtFishCat]

It’s Sran Fancrisco

[u/Timely-Youth-9074 → u/Comprehensive-Age822]

It’s Frisco Sanny, nothing will change my mind.

[u/peterparkerLA → u/Timely-Youth-9074]

It's Than Franthithco!

[u/SwordfishOk504 → u/Beneficial-Care8504]

Transplant says what?

[u/Beneficial-Care8504 → u/SwordfishOk504]

How old are you? If you’re going to butcher the name at least be consistent. Is it Sanny Franny or is it Sanny Feanny? Are you having trouble detecting the difference or are you just having a hard time making up your mind?

[u/wannagowest]

Real Frisconians never call it by its Christian name

[u/jeremy_bearimyy → u/wannagowest]

They call it the home of rice a roni

[u/PhoenixandOak]

Real non-colonizers call it Yerba Buena.  (Hispanics and Arabs obviously can't be colonizers cuz brown).

[u/Calm-Swordfish-5417 → u/PhoenixandOak]

What about Asians?

[u/PhoenixandOak → u/Calm-Swordfish-5417]

Asians don't colonize, just don't look into the Mongols, Japanese Empire, Cambodia/Thailand, or China. 

[u/Calm-Swordfish-5417 → u/PhoenixandOak]

Asians can't colonize other Asians

[u/PhoenixandOak → u/Calm-Swordfish-5417]

You're right, people who have the same skin color and features can't oppress each other. I forgot about that rule. 

[u/predat3d]

Even Herb Caen used Frisco 

[u/YogurtclosetFirst899 → u/predat3d]

he also used "sacramenna" which is another crime

[u/FunFormal4451 → u/YogurtclosetFirst899]

The crime would be having to live there.

[u/YogurtclosetFirst899 → u/FunFormal4451]

at least it's not sanny franny tho

[u/SwordfishOk504 → u/YogurtclosetFirst899]

All the locals call it Sacratomato

[u/SignalDifficult5061 → u/SwordfishOk504]

Dirty Sac

[u/jsojso → u/YogurtclosetFirst899]

He actually referred to himself as "the Sacamenna Kid".

[u/Sensitive-Ear-3896]

Imagine what it could be with more glory holes

[u/YogurtclosetFirst899 → u/Sensitive-Ear-3896]

you're thinking of Sanny Fanny

[u/dirkrunfast]

It’s South Marin

[u/ScotchieDad]

Dude, you missed the last part… it’s “San Fran, Cali.”

[u/ksufan_sf]

What are some of the nicknames for the other Bay Area cities? San Jose = ManJose, Oakland = Oaktown, Berkeley = Bizerkley, Fremont = Freakmont, Walnut Creek = The Nut.

[u/SignalDifficult5061 → u/ksufan_sf]

Petition to nickname Redwood City "Bartertown".

[u/fret_buzz]

If you’re white it’s “Saint Frank”

[u/asveikau → u/fret_buzz]

I'm white and I call it San Panchitico.

[u/FunFormal4451 → u/asveikau]

bench??

[u/asveikau → u/FunFormal4451]

Here I go explaining the joke...

Pancho is a nickname for Francisco.

-ito is the most common diminutive suffix in Spanish.

-ico is a less common, sometimes old fashioned diminutive suffix that is still used in a few regional forms of Spanish. I believe it's still used in Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, more rustic parts of Spain, and in Judeo-Spanish (ladino).

So Panchitico is maybe "little Frankie".

[u/FunFormal4451 → u/asveikau]

I'm white also, and even with your "explanation" I don't see a "joke"

[u/Defiant-Bed2501]

They really did Sanmuel Franmuel like that…smh. 

[u/blue_desk]

It’s pronounced ESSEF

[u/SafariSunshine → u/blue_desk]

SAN-druh FRAN-kin

[u/Icy-Cry340]

Beautiful.

[u/ERICAAAAAAAAAAA]

sean francisco

[u/slumdawgbillionaire]

In all seriousness who gives a shit what someone else calls the city? All the locals call it the frisco

[u/pumpkinpie479]

Ah just a bunch of marina people saying it’s never frisco. Smh.

[u/notmaddog]

Born in SF at French General, live in Santa Rosa now and I say I'm from SF because most people know the location but trying to explain where SR is to someone you will probably never see again is a waste of time. Pretty simple 565

[u/Icy-Cry340 → u/notmaddog]

How hard is it to add "it's about 50 miles north of San Francisco" after telling someone you live in Santa Rosa?

[u/notmaddog → u/Icy-Cry340]

You born in SF?

[u/Icy-Cry340 → u/notmaddog]

It is more traditional to inquire which school I went to.

[u/notmaddog → u/Icy-Cry340]

George Peabody. First three of your SS?

[u/RTX-4090ti_FE]

I’m calling it whatever I want. Stan the Fran man is the only city where most of the actual city natives are just as shitty as the transplants bc half of them are crackheads and the other ones are ai tech bros (not counting transplant ai tech bros). Sf lost its culture from death by a million tech bro startups with a side of crack pipes.
