Don’t put flowers in your hair, local dogs have probably peed on them.
San Francisco is big.
As one of America's "biggest" cities, people think San Francisco takes up a lot of land. It's actually only 7 miles by 7 miles. For comparison, Chicago is 234 square miles. This is a map of roughly what is considered to be the Bay Area. San Francisco makes up a very, very small part of it.
"San Fran" is an acceptable nickname.
Don't call it that. Just don't. San Franciscans probably won't correct you, but you should avoid it at all costs. "SF" is a great alternative.

There are millions of people.
There are actually only 800,000 residents in San Francisco, making it the 14th most populous city in the country. San Jose, Indianapolis, Austin, and Phoenix all have more residents. It's still hella dense, though.
The BART is basically like the NYC subway.
BART serves the larger San Francisco Bay Area. There are only eight stops within San Francisco proper.
