If it is the middle of the summer and 95 degres outside but you don't forget to take your winter coat before heading to San Francisco

No more sushi but now they sell Hite (the Korean Bud Light) and soju (like sake/ vodka). Bad idea. Very bad. Just wait until the masses discover this thing they call soju. It's $3 a bottle at the market, tastes like water, works like vodka.
I used to live in LA's KTown. You don't need to tell me about the merits of soju.
Hite is also a good beer when eating those spicy Korean chicken wings.
Not a bad trade off when you consider what SoCal electric goes for when running the AC.
I realised just two days before leaving on a trip to Chicago (in February) that I didn't actually own a proper coat...
People complain about it being 'muggy' when the humidity goes above 30%.
I've also found myself looking for Tri-tip on the menu when I'm out of state. Doh.
Strawberries come with nearly everything. Avocado on everything else.
Everyone you know makes the best Cadillac Margarita you've ever tasted.
You know three ways to remove beach tar from your feet....

Too funny. Yes strawberries & avocados are plentiful here. CA supplies 1/2 of the country's produce.

That's where I'm at now. Orale.
Hora Le means "right on (you). "Le" is the you identifier. It would make no sense if it was one word.
If you find instances of "orale", it's only those saying it phonetically who don't know how it is spelled.

I grew up around Chicanos and that is how we used it. My in-laws are native Spanish speakers and my wife agrees with me. Orale

Well, yes it is. The keyboard player in my former band is Mexican, and always used it as a greeting, both speaking and in emails. I live 30 miles from the border. I'm fairly hip to Mexican slang, having worked with many people of Mexican descent for the last 40 years. I have a few phrases that would get me a ticket here as soon as the mods translated them.
You don't know what you're talking about. If you think "le" is an identifier meaning "you" in this instance, then you don't even speak Spanish. Why argue with those who do? ('le' as a you identifier is used in single words: cambiale, tocale, hechale, etc...)
