The **** Family, Frisco, TX **** and **** need to leave Frisco with their tail between their legs. they have caused two homeowners to go into foreclosure because they won't pay the rent. the people have caused many people heartache and frisco would be better off without them.

Feel free to attack wrong-headed beliefs, but I am sick to read comments attacking people based on stereotypes based on who they are or where they live - it's no better than that stupid frisco-disco ad that was featured on TPMEC yesterday.

srkrause commented on the word frisco
A co-called nickname for the glorious city of San Francisco. Natives and those enamored of "The City" shudder and moan when they hear this vulgar term. It is not to be compared with such urban delights as The Big Apple. Its usage demonstrates that the speaker is utterly without class or sophistication; more properly an object of pity than derision.

palooka commented on the word frisco
Calling San Francisco "Frisco" is like calling New York City "Nork", or Chicago "Chica", or Kansas City "Cans City", or Houston "Hugh"", etc. We don't like it.

I know what you mean, palooka. It's like when people call Fairbanks "Bear Flanks." Although, come to think of it, it kind of fits...

That's a cool example skipvia - Bear Flanks Alaska.

Is it because it sounds too much like Crisco? ;-)

chained_bear commented on the word frisco
I've always hated "frisco" and I have never been to San Francisco. I think it's just a lazy-ass abbreviation that doesn't sound right. Or even a lazy ass-abbreviation.
I do like Bear Flanks, though. I guess it just sounds right. Also, I'm a bear.

I know native Philadelphians who can't stand "Philly" as a nickname for Philadelphia. I don't say it around them so as to avoid being socked in the kisser.

But they still say Philly Cheesesteak?

chained_bear commented on the word frisco
Whenever I've been there (which isn't often), they just say cheesesteak, or steak sandwich. Anyway Fluffya is a much better pronunciation for that city's name.

reesetee commented on the word frisco
"Fluffya" is definitely a native pronunciation in some parts. And if you're ordering a cheesesteak, you don't even say cheesesteak. You say "One wit" for a cheesesteak with fried onions, "one wit-out" for a cheesesteak, no onions. "Whiz wit" is cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz and fried onions, and so on.
Great. Now I'm hungry.

Cheez Whiz? On a chessesteak? Say it ain't so, reesetee...

Only for the most discerning Fluffya palates, skipvia. The rest of us prefer provolone or American.

Skipvia, you seem to have a visceral dislike for Cheese Was. Perhaps it was a traumatic event in your childhood....? ;-)

skipvia commented on the word frisco
Actually, I think it was this image that was the proverbial straw for me. It's not coincidental that I added it to the puke bowl discussion.
I may not like Cheez Whiz, but I love the phrase Cheese Was.

reesetee commented on the word frisco
Haha! That image has become a Wordie booby trap. ;-)
I must confess that Cheese Was was borrowed/pinched from someone whom I've been nagging to join Wordie. No luck so far.

This was a great conversation. Anyhow, Frisco sounds odd to me from a long way away. Sounds like the sort of thing Martin Ferguson would say.
