Only outsiders call it "Cali", just like only outsiders dare call it "Frisco".
Do as I do and subtract IQ points when they do... |

When I moved to the Midwest after living in California for a number of years and heard people ask me, "Oh, so you're from Cali?", I thought they meant the city in Colombia (the famous one associated with the drug cartel). |

I don't and it bothers me when people say "Cali", "Frisco", or "Sacto." It's not that hard to say the full name. |

I've lived her all my life and only in the last year have I heard people use it, but mostly in an email name because the full name is too long. |

I'm from there and never heard anyone there say Cali either. I guess it's just shorter. |

I'm from SoCal (Southern California) and a lot of us here call it Cali as a nickname. Here, we call LA "The City", Sacramento "Sac Town", San Francisco "San Fran", San Diego "Daygo", |

It's short for California and the term grew in popularity after the song my LL Cool J "Going back to Cali" |
