hella

Being a NorCal kid, I know we claim this word...but it has been used once in a popular song by someone not from this area, Gwen Stefani in "Hella Good". While Gwen used it in it's proper term, I wonder where she heard it from. There may be others, but I only know of that song. Anyways, I hated the word when people first started using it, because it's poor English, but then I realized..it was something unique to my yay area (as we like to call it). So it's hella cool with me. Just like the Hi-NRG style music that originated in the South Bay in the late 80's that nobody played outside of the Bay Area...or played very little of. The wannabe Stevie B's (the only one to really go nationwide with that style which had the same beat, and generally, but not in his case, singing styles that were kind of mediocre, because it was really about the beat so you could wop and smurf to it).

Hella

A completely pointless word that most sentences could live without.

Used to exaggerate a word.

"The word 'hella' is hella stupid!"

"You're hella right."

hella

a word that directly indicates someone being from norcal. Irritates people from LA because it sounds like a word that would be used by a little kid too pussy to use the word fuck.

Im from norcal and i hella dont know how to speak proper english.

Guy from Norcal: Im from nor cal and i think im hella bad ass
Guy from LA: Get the fuck out of LA before I shoot your ass

Hella is a word that originated in the Bay Area aka The Yay Area. Hella is a word you use when you really want to express your emotions about something, when you say hella you really mean what you sayin. Peeps arguin back and forth say it originated in Frisco and fa any dumbass who don't know that mean SanFrancisco. Otha Niggas claim it started in Northern Cali. Mayn to all my Bay Area niggas, it originated in the bay so keep it at that. It don't matta where cuz it's from the Bay mayn! stop bein pussys about it cuz in the end it's all BAY SHIT! Reppin The Yay To The Fullest Ya Heard?

Ex: "That suit hella clean ma nigga!"

Ex: "Aw, she hella grimey cuz!"
