hella

A word that many undereducated people argue over the originations of. A vast majority of people don't realize it's a hella waste of time, and that no one gives a shit. Some would even argue that 'hella' spawned from hell itself as a mind-numbing reminder of Satan's evergrowing control of human souls and the stupidity of mankind.
