The way rejection tends to be handled by Californians, who are sunny in disposition and less brusque than East Coast residents. Instead of bluntly saying "no," Californians say no by avoiding the question, forgetting to respond to emails, and generally postponing the issue. The best way to give a California no is to do nothing at all, as opposed to saying it outright.
This is especially popular in the entertainment industry. For example, Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal is quoted as saying: "To me, postponing a Hollywood lunch meeting is the new passing. They figure they'll postpone you until you go away. This way, they are not saying no. If that happens more than twice -- obviously emergencies come up -- you've got to get the hint."
A: So I emailed that agent a week ago and still no response. What is going on?
B: He's giving you the California no.

A mythical land depicted in movies, television shows, and other fictional works of the middle 20th century. Seems to have been located in upper Latin America. Was peopled by exuberant, attractive "white persons," a type thought once to have been widespread in the area.
California was consistently represented as prosperous, but this is strictly notional. Present-day inhabitants of the area have found it to be without economic resources.
Compare "Shangri-La."
He: California was so nice. Too bad it never really existed.
She: -- Are you sure?
He: ... Pretty sure.

California- On the West Coast. Home to the Los Angeles Lakers, the San Fransisco 49ers and the Sacramento Kings. "The land of fruits and nuts-literally." This quote, which my grandmother says all the time, refers to the large homosexual population of California.

California was one of the best place in America, if not the world, still is. Ever since Grey Davis was in, he had approved abundant of funding that were what lead us to here today. We got used to the huge amount of funding from the state, and hereafter we do not wish to lose them. With the enormous amount of debts that California is finally in, we still would not like to have some of the funding to be cut and taxes not to be raised.
Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot be judged for not doing anything. He had no choice but to cut funding to make up the small proportions of the debts that we owe. Most of the Californians do not wish to have the taxes increase and eliminate some of the funding; the people in the Sacramento will not be able to do anything.
California once again become proper and free of debt. Good luck to the troops in oversea. George W. Bush needs to start thinking of a way to help United States than sending our beloved troops out to save other lives. God blesses America and the World.
Steven: There is still hope for California.
Keith: I love California, the beaches, etc.
Arnold: We are in serious trouble...no raising taxes, no cutting funding. What the hell am I suppose to do?
Davis: Keep passing the bills!
G Bush: Next up on, Canada. Oh wait...shhh....

Overall A great state with lots of things to do, diverse scenery and people, usually laid back. However some Californians tend to have a superiority complex when visiting or talking about other states, and may verbalize this by saying things like..."What's in Idaho?, What's in Kansas?, This place sucks, etc." without realizing other states have great
things to offer as well.
1. "I cant wait tell I get back to California, this place sucks."
2. "Why would anyone want to live in Oklahoma?"
