    Californication is a term used to refer to the blend of the word California and fornication, and it refers primarily to the haphazard, mindless development that has already gobbled up most of Southern California.

    It comes from the song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    It is a play on words combining California and fornication, which is the act of having sexual intercourse. It comes from a Red Hot Chili Peppers song about everyone wanting to live the fantasy California lifestyle, even at its most perverted and gritty.

    It's about lack of sexual fidelity in the largest westernmost state of the 48. Put a dash between the first i and f and you'll catch my drift.

    It was a TV show and also the title song from an album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
