/ˈhelə/

Adjective or Adverb: 1) in or to an extreme degree; a synonym of the words "extremely", "quite", "totally" & "very"

Origin: NorCal people claim the word, but in Las Vegas people have been using the word since the '70s and it's a part of the vernacular of EVERY kid that grew up in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and all of Southern Nevada.
