it often replaces the word very, extremly or a lot. popular slang term in northern and central california and may be used nation wide. it came from the expression "hell of a" contracted into one word.

Hella 

A word that basicaly means "really", but it just sounds cooler. You can also use it to spot the posers, because they'll use it in every sentence after you use it.

"That sounds hella cool"

hella 

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.
