Possibly the dumbest adjective that the world of slang has ever known. Its been proven that it sounds stupid with every word in the english language. 96% of people that use the word are proven to be total losers. A person that uses this word as a serious adjective immediately becomes unattractive to the opposite sex, exept if used in front of "copter pilot"
That guy just got hella air off that jump bro!
Whoa, brody, check out that hella rad Jeep dude!
If you see Brody, Quinn, Tristan, Hayden, Elijah, Fallon, Luca, Ryder, Atticus or Ella, tell them that they have hella stupid names!
