How 'bout “State of Calfusionâ€.
This has the double meaning of fusion of 2 things and feeling confused (about where one lives in this case).
Works well as an answer when someone asks where you live.
This applies to me as I live in San Clemente and have friends in San Jose and used to live in Marin.
Regarding the lady who splits her time between so-Cal and nor-Cal (no-cal sounds like a diet drink to me), how about pan-Californian? I think this issue is somewhat specific to California because, although it's one state, it has two distinct cultures. And besides, how can one be verti-Cal and laid back at the same time?
By the way, what is a “dot orgyâ€, and why wasn't I invited?

LOL.
Boy, this question sure has generated a lot of discussion, both here and in even moreso our email box. (I like "Sonofornian" just because it sounds so silly, and "bi-Cal" because it sounds like it has layers of complexity. But again, it's just so hard to get people to pick up made-up terms like these.) But we still haven't found the broader word that would apply to ANYONE with a north-south commute. What about someone who lives in Minneapolis part of the year and New Orleans -- or Buenos Aires -- the other part of the year? I'm thinking something that uses the idea of "latitude," but I'm still floundering about for an answer.
