This reminds me of a conversation I had with an old supervisor. She was from Texas so I had to give her some slack. (And a near identical conversation with a coworker who should have known better.)
Supe: Where's Cal? Is that Cal Lutheran?
Me: Berkeley is Cal.
Supe: Berkeley is in California. But what's Cal.
Me: Cal is Berkeley. Berkeley is Cal. University of California
Supe: So Cal is the University of California? So UCSD is Cal?
Me: No! Berkeley is Cal. Cal is Berkeley. Berkeley is UC Berkeley. Berkeley was the first UC.
Supe: Huh?
Me: **walked away**
