The chap who uttered it first and unknowingly spawned this goofy thread is from Singapore, for crying out loud. It's hardly a sin! "Frisco" was in common use during WWII, long before most of today's residents, who tend toward the politically correct, were around. Frank Sinatra often invoked it, both personally and in the flicks of the day. Of course he had his gang to back him up. Leica, anyone? - -- Roger, from Philly
