Having gone to a college in California, a UC where most kids were also from CA, this was a dead giveaway for who was from where. In the same vein, I love the bar scene in Inglorious Bastards where Michael Fassbender's character orders 3 drinks and holds up 3 fingers the English/American way (index, middle and ring) as opposed to the mainland European way (thumb, index and middle) and it's a dead giveaway. I don't know if that had been used in literature before, but whoever wrote that scene (Tarantino?) really picked up on a subtle difference that's a dead giveaway.
