I've heard from San Franciscans that it is bad form to refer to their city as Frisco or San Fran. I usually like to tell them that to refer to it as The City outside of California will likely get them a wedgie.
Also, on the first night of rain, I overheard one Duke undergrad turn to the other, as they left Whole Foods, and say, "I do not care for this weather."
well, i have heard cali in southern california from natives. but that was in the 80s... cali doesn't grate on me like the san fran or frisco thing does.
i think cheerwine is just a cherry soda pop... so i don't know why it is called cheerwine and not cherry cola. ??? i am afraid to try it.
then you must use tears.
