p.s. Dago is to San Diego what Frisco is to the City. The locals don't do that.
Kyle,
Dago has been a "local" slang term for San Diego or San Diegan for as far back as I can remember, which is about age 3. They might not use the term in the upper-crust regions of La Jolla and Fairbanks Ranch, but trust me, it is commonly used on the means streets of the urban jungle.
I have lived the majority of my life here (all but 11 years). I was born in L.A. but moved to San Diego at 4 weeks of age, so that's pretty damn local. I've heard many locals refer to San Diego as Dago my entire life. We normally don't have our panties in a wad about it like the bay area folks do.
The H.A.'s certainly do refer to it as Dago. As do the Diablos and various other MC.
There is a motorcycle-building company in O.B. named Dago Choppers, which is short for San Diego Choppers.
There is a worldwide police officer's motorcycle club, the "Lords of Loyalty." The president of the San Diego Chapter is a police officer who goes by "Dago Mark." As in, "San Diego Mark."
There is a local rap group called Dago Braves.
There is a local hip-hop group called DagoHipHop

There is a pretty famous Pop Warner football organization called The East Dago Raiders.
There is more, but you get the idea. It leads me to wonder...Kyle, are you a local, or are you just some tourist who decided to stay?:confused:
Yes, the bumper sticker does say, "Where the hell is Boulevard." In case you really don't know, it's way out on 94 East near Campo.
