Definitions
Slang for a person from San Francisco — a compact, casual alternative to 'San Franciscan' used by locals and those in the know. Friscan nods to the city's nickname 'Frisco', which itself is a longstanding informal handle that many SF natives actually hate but outsiders love. Whether you embrace Friscan or cringe at it probably says a lot about how long you've lived on the peninsula.
As a born-and-bred Friscan, she had strong opinions about which fog belt neighbourhood was actually worth living in.
