The dumbest word ever created. A derivation of "hell of a" combined into one word that immediately makes you sound like a nor-cal idiot. Used interchangeably with "a lot" "really" "very" etc. It's totally unnecessary because you could easily just use one of the already established, acceptable synonyms. People who use hella sound unmotivated and poor. Sorry but it's true. This is why LA is so much better.
"I hella hate Nor-Cal"
"People are hella dumb for using this word"

A word that most clearly distinguishes Bay Area kids from the rest of the world. These Bay Area kids think that the whole of Nor-Cal say hella when most of them don't. It is the most despised word in Santa Cruz because it distinguishes fagget valleys that come over from the Bay Area and try to surf, causing hours of traffic throughout SC. Most people are baffled why the users of this word think they are so cool, and certainly the use of the word does not help them any. Surfers certainly do not use this word unless they come from the Bay Area.
Bay Area Kid: This place is hella tight yo.
SC kid: Shut your mouth little grom and go back where you came from, stop crowding our city like rats.
