During 49ers Media Day, NFL quarterback Brock Purdy humorously failed to correctly define Bay Area terms 'Karl' and 'hyphy.' Mistaking 'Karl' for a person, Purdy later learned it is the name of San Francisco's famous fog. Similarly, he couldn't grasp that 'hyphy' is short for 'hyperactive' and represents the unique culture of Oakland and the greater Bay Area. Despite his successful football career, Purdy's misunderstanding of local slang highlights the need to immerse himself in Bay Area culture further.
