Wondering: “Californicator” juvenile, unimaginative

Item: Idaho House dumps film incentive on fears of 'Californicating' Idaho/KXLY.com

More Info: One lawmaker argued, "Let's not Californicate Idaho." Still another said, "Let's don't help Hollywood."

Wondering: When is the stupid sophomoric term "Californicator" going to be dispensed with. It is juvenile and indicative of a mind totally lacking in imagination...or someone with a 65 word total vocabulary. Enough...it is just plain stupid.

DFO: I'll bet more Idahoans were born in California than in Idaho. The "Californicator" comment not only is stupid, but it's so 1970s. Then, some of our Idaho legislators are living about 30 or 40 years behind the time.

Question: Do you know of anyone who still uses the term, "Californicate"?
