n. An abb. of Northern California. Has no more significance than any other geographic portion of the world but inhabitants of such location would like to point out their "personal superiority", which is in all respects unrelated to the definition. Most commonly identified when inquiring about the word hella.
Bob: "NorCal is hella better than SoCal!"
Frank: "Just shut up, loser."

Boring. Beautiful. The word "hella" is used, but not in every sentence contrary to popular belief. There are big lifted trucks because half of the population actually works for a living and the other half are pretending they're cool. We like snowboarding, hiking, and jumping off bridges. We dont have lots of public fun so we make our own parties. End of story.
Norcal and Socal should be their own planets.

The area of California from Sacramento north. While SoCal kids may think NorCal begins and ends in the bay area, they and their Rainbow sandals are sadly mistaken. There are only about, oh, 325 MILES OR SO between San Francisco and the Oregon border; this is the true NorCal. NorCal is known for its abundant and beautiful wilderness, including the coastal redwoods, Mt. Shasta, and the high deserts of the east. No, Yosemite is not in NorCal, nor is Monterey. Furthermore, if it's plastered with cement and filled with chain stores, it's most likely in SoCal. Similarly, if you breathe the air and smell exhaust or can't see the stars from your backyard, you're not in NorCal. And finally, if you don't know what the "state of Jefferson" is, you're definitely not in NorCal. Go back to the bay.
Bro 1: Dude, bro, wanna go up to hella NorCal?
Bro 2: Bro, you mean road trip all the way from here in the O.C. to the NorCal town of Modesto? Can I wear my Rainbows?
True Northern Californian: *shakes head*

Norcal is the word to describe Northern California. We are a peaceful people who love to love. We are liberal. We are hippies. We like the scenery and the greenery. We are a completely different breed from socal, and that's not a bad thing.
And we say hella.

You have the opportunity to go for something big, but still go for the bare minimum.
*Guy hits a 5 meter jump off": "Oh, he's in NorCal!"
