In that context, SF could mean both San Francisco, and Santa Fe, since they are of somewhat proportionally equivalent population of "Lispers" regardless of language.

BTW. Local Hispanics in Northern NM (where I grew up), who still trace their origins back to the Conquistadors, speak an old form of Castilian Spanish. Their geographical isolation kept it relatively pure, aside from their Pueblo Indian linguistic influences.

BTWA. They really don't like the "Mojados" much either. They'll tell you that the only reason they let them in is "so the fat chicas can get married too".

I hadn't even thought of Santa Fe. As far as 'lisping', San Francisco just immediately comes to mind. Besides, it's only 60 or so miles from me.

I can easily imagine that the isolation would limit the 'mongrelization' of the language, as my Spanish teacher used to describe it.

LOL. That's cold. Funny, but cold nontheless. :=)
