The first time I heard "hella" was from a friend in college from CA. I was like wtf??

 

One of my friends and I were talking about this about a week ago, we came to the conclusion that "hella" was the west coast version of "wicked" and vice-versa. We could be way off though 'cause both of us were raised on the west coast.

 

Don't forget BIATCH

 

How much more when you factor in online slang/terminology? God, things get even more weird...

 

www.urbandictionary.com ... for all your slang needs..

Hella. Originated from the streets of San Francisco in the Hunters Point neighborhood. It is commonly used in place of "really" or "very" when describing something.

I woulda said Cartman, but I grew up in South Florida.. dont know the first thing about the west coast!

 

"Bangin'" - hot, tight, nice, I approve of this

"Straight Bangin'" - very nice, I really approve of this, superlative of above

 

yea, "hella" = a lot of something. for example, the mugen hardtop costs hella.

growing up in norcal, ive said it hella lot but ever since moving to socal ive cut back since people either dont get it or they give you that look like, "oh youre one of those people that say hella".

anyways, ive heard "wicked" being used. thats "mad wicked" or simply "thats wicked".

other words ive heard:
grip - a lot - "bride seats cost a grip"
cutty/cutties - in some random spot. maybe secluded and/or unknown - "that guy just came out from the cutties" or "he lives in the cuts"
skrill - money. i havent heard this one in a while and am glad i dont. it just sounds funny to me.

theres a bunch more but i really should get back to my paper
