SoCal
West Coast warmth
SoCal is an informal name for Southern California, the region encompassing Los Angeles, San Diego, and surrounding areas.
The term evokes sun, beaches, and laid-back culture: I'm moving to SoCal for the weather.
It contrasts with NorCal (Northern California), reflecting a mild regional rivalry.
