How Crisco became Frisco

Ok. So I'm an immigrant. And no, I don't live in Queens. But I was horrified the other day, when a friend of mine told me to change my screen name from Crisco Funk to something else.

I asked her why and she told me that Crisco was a sobriquet for a bunch of things that were associated with alternative lifestyles. Bah humbug I thought. These silly Americans don't know what cool is. Besides, I don't judge people or their lifestyles.

Well...much to my horror, Kaitlin referred me to www.urbandictionary.com. I typed in the word Crisco and vomited. So now I am Frisco Funk. And I'm sorry to all you bay area folks out there, but I can't keep Crisco funk. Be well fashionistas.
