First off, I'd like to thank all the platinum grill wearing, more expensive wheels than the car's actually worth driving, horrible casio-tone music bumping, pants so low that it looks like you took a dump having, uneducated f-tards that make the Bay Area sound like it's full of a bunch of imbeciles for posting so many weak posts here. (And yes, I'm being sarcastic if you even know what that means).
If you look up Bay Area in Wikipedia, this is what you'll see:
The San Francisco Bay Area, commonly known as the Bay Area, or the Bay, is a geographically and ethnically diverse metropolitan region that surrounds the San Francisco and San Pablo bays in Northern California.
If you look up Bay Area (disambiguation), this is what you'll see:
Bay Area is a common term to refer to a metropolitan area situated around a bay. Three places in the United States that are referred to simply as "the Bay Area" by their residents are:
* San Francisco Bay Area
* Tampa Bay Area
* Galveston Bay Area
Notice, no mention of Chesapeake, Hudson, or Memphis. Sorry, but when you say Bay Area ANYWHERE around the world, they think SF Bay Area, not Chesapeake or Hudson so don't try to make it sound like we are creating the definition. Words and phrases, much like some in this dictionary, are created based on an agreement in terms of the usage of the lexicon. The term Bay Area has long been associated with the S.F. Bay Area which is why it has stuck.

Get the bay areamug. A place that, accept it or not, is the height of American insufferability. Meaning they believe that the place they are is the coolest and anyone who lives elsewhere and enjoys life is fooling themselves.
"Why don't those poor bastards realize if they thought and acted just like me they could truly be happy?"

The Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida, Metropolitan Statistical Area, also known as the Tampa Bay area or simply Tampa Bay after the body of water it surrounds, is a metropolitan area on the Gulf coast of west-central Florida. It includes the cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater, as well as numerous other small municipalities in Pasco, Hernando, Pinellas, and Hillsborough counties. The population for the Tampa Bay area currently stands at 2,589,637; as of a July 4, 2005 estimate. It is experiencing urban sprawl and the area grows at an average of 20,000 to 40,000 residents every year, which is about 200,000 to 400,000 every 10 years. Most of the sprawl has occurred in the more rural areas because of more affordable land; such areas are Lutz, Land O' Lakes, Pasco County and Hernando County. The West Coast of Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico is considered a tourist destination as the weather is semi-tropical and the region contains significant natural beauty, including brilliant sunsets, exotic foliage, and attractive scenery. The Tampa Bay area contains three major public beaches. Coastal access and ports provide the opportunity to observe dolphins, manatees and other sea life, experience deep sea fishing, scuba diving, and join cruises to Gulf of Mexico destinations including Cozumel, Key West and the Cayman Islands.
