A word which means "really". Mostly used in Northern California. Don't judge us.

hella means fo'Sho, yea , very , yup and words like that

Generally means 'very' or 'really'.
It's the NorCal counterpart to the SoCal "Dude" in terms of frequency of use. In SoCal, hella is used more satirically, because it is so ridiculous. Then again, so is dude. Hecka is to Hella as heck is to hell, obviously. But Hecka is even more ridiculous.

What Cartman likes to say in the episode of South Park "Spookyfish". Im sure he does it to annoy everyone.

Hella came from the Black Panthers in Oakland, Ca. in the early 1970's. It was used in place of "hell of" meaning to "have an excess of". Most commonly used to describe the level of badness something may have. Today it can be used by everyone who wants to describe how good or bad anything is.

The word wicked is a term originating in Oakland California that is fairly endemic to the sanfrancisco bay area and to a lesser extent the rest of the state. The word has three separate definitions,

1: very

2: a lot of

3: general term of agreement

The metric "hella" is commonly used unit of measurement. Exactly half a shit- ton and 12 metric assloads. This is also 1/20th of a fuck-ton.
