...meant to be humorous..

Having lived in SF I not only know of which Bay Area he speaks but also can attest to the local insistence that it is the ONLY bay area. I really enjoyed travelling in California and pissing off the Souther Californians by referring to SF as "the city" they knew very well which city i meant, and hated me for it As I recall, when the now 'golden state' basketball team played in SF the jerseys said 'the city' gotta love geographical elitism like that I do know that Boston thinks of itself as a 'bay area' as well (not to mention the bay state) but I would hazard to guess most americans would go with SF when they hear the reference, just as when they hear 'the queen' there is an automatic assumption that it is Liz II.
