Term used to indicate personal superiority. When spoken in conversation, the receiving party immediately knows that the person saying the word is of a high class because of that person's Bay Area roots. Thus, if the receiver is not of the same geography and stature, negative emotions arise from envy. A primary example is that of the frustrated SoCal dweller who is frequently subjected to the mighty and humbling presence of Bay Areans.

THE REAL DEFINITION:
East Bay (Fremont/Hayward originally), early-mid 1980's. Original slang was "hecka" (a bastardization of the GREEK prefix "heka", meaning 100, or more generally, a large nonspecified quantity). So it originally had nothing to do with profanity/cursing. However, it was soon upgraded to "hella" by those who thought that it was somehow related to the word "heck".

My definition is hella sweet.
