A little, five-year-old Cuban boy who made headlines in 1999 by surviving the trip to Florida from Cuba in an inner tube. His mother died to get him to Florida, but she made the mistake of naming him a name that sounded far too much like the word, alien in English, and having him fathered by a man who would have nothing to do with Elián until being Elián's father was suddenly very patriotic.
If Elián González wasn't named a name that sounds like alien in English, maybe the feds wouldn't have been so obsessed with sending him home, or scared him into going back to Cuba by shoving an assault rifle in his face.

Californiese slang for San Francisco, the place where no one can afford to both work and live. It's one of those few Californiese slangs that people from other places learn to say, thinking it will make them sound like they've actually been to California, and the one that San Franciscans refuse to say, because they resent being Californiese. As foggy as Frisco is, they still haven't the foggiest idea what to be; they're simply sure that Californiese isn't it.
"Frisco" originated during the California Gold Rush, when people were too busy trying to make their fortunes to pronounce all the syllables that the Spanish missionaries had thought place names needed. The Spanish originally named it San Francisco de Asís, but that was just impractical.

Only people who can afford not to work can afford to live in Frisco. Anyone who works there lives some place like San Jose or Santa Rosa. In turn, those displace so many people in San Jose and Santa Rosa that anyone working in those cities can't afford to live there, and live some place like Ukiah or Modesto instead, making sure that California's prime agriculture land gets paved over with tracts of homes that sit empty all day long until the owners come back at night, after one hella miserable one or two hour commute, and pretend to live there.
