They call California, Cali
They call the Trojans, Southern Cal

If you use those 2 terms its stone cold lock you are a tourist.

I think it was LL CoolJ that coined the term "Cali" in his: "Going back to Cali, Cali...I don't think so" song from the 80's. And wasn't he from, well, Cali?

Another way:

They call it "The OC". It's not "The OC", it's just "OC". Orange County dammit!

I have too many friends from my university who are from "Cali" who call their state "Cali". So I'd have to disagree with you there bud. I don't know about the "Trojans" and "Southern Cal" thing though.

Btw, LL cool J is from Queens, NY.

When I lived in Joisey we went "down the shore". In California, we go to the Beach!

I'll never forget Californians ripping the sheets of their beds , spray painting GO OJ, GO OJ, and racing down to the freeway to cheer on OJ as he passed by with a gun to his head.

During the trial of the century I was flying out of LAX to Logan and I wore my "the juice is loose" t-shirt that I copped on Krenshaw. The wine and cheese people were aghast. The Tshirt was so fucking cool it had a picture of Ojs face with the Bronco chase superimposed over it. I ended up in a heated debate witha a passenger that called oj a murderer and I repled by going "ARF!, ARF!," THATS ALL YOU GOT FOR EVIDENCE, A DOG BARKING.
