A word that originated in the 1980's in the Central Valley of Northern California (Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, Lathrop) area. Was NOT originally a Bay Area word. In fact when I went to college at Berkeley in the 1990's, we knew who was from the Central Valley by use of the word "hella." Recently, however, the word Hella has migrated to the rest of the Bay Area.

Hella
/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. The origin is still not clear, but both communities have used the word a hella long time.
