Nickname for San Francisco. Sometimes also called "San Fran", but the local residents hate it when someone refers to it as "'Frisco". A wonderful city for all, with steep hilly streets, among other things.
Jeremy: Let's check out The City and see Lombard Street. It's the Crookedest Street in the World. After that we can get on a ferry and visit Alcatraz. Then we can have a pizza.

Sam: Alright! Let's go!

-City turns existing words into the same word with a much stronger definition

1."Big L's freestyles are crack" becomes "Big L's freestyles are Crack City", because they are simply more than just being crack.

2."It's fucking brick outside" becomes "It's fucking Brick City" when especially frigid.

3."Those guys are fags" becomes "Those niggas are Fag City" when displaying homosexuality that goes beyond.
