1. A North California word meaning "so" or "really". 2. A word that in it's most annoying form means "a lot of". 3. The most annoying word in the history of the civilized world. 4. A world that will, sadly and pathetically, start to involuntarily flow from your mouth if you go to school in North Cali for more than a month.
1. That party was hella awesome!
2. Dude, they had hella weed!

How it should used:
Person 1: That was hella sweet!
Person 2: You just said hella!
(Person 1 smacks head on some hard object near by)
Person 1: Just shoot me, please.
