-----

So far, I've only heard people from here (NorCal) say this word, including me and several other Bay Area kids. Don't think anyone else have ever used this.

Anyway, yeah it's been freakin hot these days. I swear, it was 88 today. I was dying in my room, and I didn't open my windows to let in air because I have severe allergies. Which, by the way, I spent over a hundred dollars on for prescription medicine.

So whuzzup. Hella tired right now.

EDIT;
I would also like to add that classical music is awesome. Foisefjoisfj you if you don't agree.

[xTINAA]

I say hella...and I'm in Colorado, haha.
Classical music is pretty good and gee, 88 degrees?!

[lalalaLANUH]

I hate you right now...it's only 53 in New York. But then again I don't have allergies, so opening a window isn't all that bad for me. How expensive is allergie medicine anyways???

[hiromi]

What the hell? It's hella hellish here.

Naw, I don't use 'Hella'. Actually, it's rather uncommon for me to hear 'Hella' here in Long Island. Over here, 'Mad' is overused

Damn, that's mad cool yo. mad cool.

[SarahxJoy]

88º? Psh, that's nothing compared to the weather we get here in Vegas.
And hella people say "Hella" here.

Classical music is awesome though.

[*mipadi*]

It's used as far east as central Pennsylvania, I know that.

[*salcha*]

Dunno, but think about how much it would cost if my insurance didnt cover it

[Smoogrish]

I don't say hella, but I've heard people say it around here. Very rarely though.

[Simba]

I've heard "hella" be used here in Indiana, but it's usually by these poser children.

[*Girthy*]

Sally, you hella stank. Classical music eh? I pwn you.

[*chaneun*]

No, but here they say "duck ass bitches."

[*stephinika*]

I personally do not say 'hella' but yes, I've heard it used around here...BC, Canada. More in the past few years, but I haven't heard it recently...

[july-eighth]

I say hella all the time. But I live in the Bay Area too...
It has been hella hot, huh? Like it was all raining and flooding, and then bam. Hot weather in the 80's.

[EddieV]

I don't say hella, EAST COAST!

[hotpockets]

I used to say hella, but wrong, on PURPOSE... i used to say, its hella colorful, or something really dumb like that..
but yeah me and eddie are EAST COAST!!!

[ANG33ZY]

[NatiMarie]

It's slowly spreading everywhere. Even in the East Coast.
Uh oh...

[ANG33ZY]

[Im So Vain]

^It was actually hella hot in Antioch today, freakin 103 degrees. Yeah but hecka and hella have been around since I can remember.

[MrElsewhere]

[xPartyGrlDx]

Hella. Bay Area Represent!

[*Libertie*]

Back when I was in like 7th grade (six or seven years ago) I would hear people say it here all the time.. Now, not so much. Most people I know have sorta grown out of it, I guess..

[sharerol]

its that bay sh*t! i don't really say it though.. haha

[oooitzsharon]

i used to say hella, but that was becuz i heard all my cousins from vallejo say it. they still say it, but i've outgrown it.

[innovation]

Here in DC, we're classier than that. :D

[PrincessAda]

I always say it..and I`m in the Bay

[xoxoxx]

Sally, just because a group of people you hang out with use bad grammar and words, doesn't mean everyone else in the area does. For your inaccuracy and stupidity, I think this topic will be closed.

It's hardly limited to one particular area.

And once again, it's hardly "Asian"

I, however, don't use it. That just doesn't mean I don't hear it used.

[aubbob]

people here in hawaii say it...
or they say "halfspeed".. "bu".. or "choices"..
i don't know why..

[5ayuri]

^Huh..choices?
People here used to say it but i haven't heard anyone say it in a while.

[gelionie]

I think I've used the word "hella" before, but I can't quite recall an example of that... never mind.

It was 21 degrees Celcius over here today.

[emazing]

I've heard kids from the East Coast use 'hella' alot too.
But yeah, it's hella boring in the computer lab right now.

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

hella.
i say it toooo much.
but its so much in my everyday
language that i forget to care.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

I've never said it before in my life (Maybe on the computer, but I wouldn't remember..). Nor have I heard anyone in my school say it.

Must not have spread to NY yet?

[KissMe2408]

I say "hella" lol.
It comes out more like a "Helluva"

"I just spent a helluva amount of time on CB" kinda thing.

And classical music is pretty awesome =)

[Jeng]

helllla hellla hella bored and icky and hungry

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Yall hella stanky.

[Nymphetamine]

It's a very horrible lingo.

[koreansaga510]

Bay Area represent! YEEEE!

The temp. out here is nice... not too hot, not too cold. it's hella koo.

[*mona lisa*]

I've never said it and Canadians are too busy with "eh" to say "hella".

[smoke]

^ haha, true, very true.

I hear people say it at my school all the time. I don't get it, lol.

[Simba]

I know only one person who says it in my school.
He really shouldn't. He sounds kinda lame.

[juliar]

EAST COAST BITCHES.

[no-name]

A lot of people say it hella alot here in virginia..even i say it..i don't know why though

[Serendipity]

In the Bay Area, everyone says it.
But I don't.

[GlecieC]

I never knew there were so many Bay folks on CB. But yea, I use it, a lot of people do. It's nothing new. It's like natural.

[mznikki]

gyea i've herd some people say hella not a lot but some and its in my vocab. but lotta people here say "not gonna lie" and "flat out" a hella loot. it gets really annoying

[HakunaMatata]

Hella is part of my everyday vocab, and it never occured to me until a year ago that it originated here.

[Lycidas]

Sometimes I say "hella".

To be honest, I think I got it from Lorena. Or maybe it was that No Doubt song.

Whatever.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

EAST COAST BITCHES.
