No, this has nothing to do with those of us that choose to live here being stuck because of our professions, what the heck gave you that idea?

Everyone I know who lives here LOVES Livermore. It’s decent commute distance to most places in the Bay Area, is surrounded by beautiful hills, 40+ wineries, an award winning downtown, and the friendliest people of any biggish California city I’ve lived in.

It’s a joke, but related to the awkward sounding and looking term Livermoran.

There is a LOT more keeping the 100k of us in Livermore than our professions.

My apologies; I grew up half and half between Marin and Fresno and that’s what I recall for both.

If I mistook where the term up north came from then I do apologize.

Edit: I think an issue was with my explanation. The people I know in both areas actually love it; people outside the area think they are stupid for living there. Therefore there is some appropriation of the pejorative.

Once again, if that’s mistaken in reference to Livermore then I apologize.
