you know who I blame for this right...? Paris Hilton

or...you. saying hella is tight. saying that's hot is absolutely inexcusable.

nice shirt but i have yet to hear her say it on the show...
 
Everyone down south makes fun of me for saying hella.

If something’s really good, then you must take four steps:

1) Smile when talking "That girls is..."

2) Roll back head (continue to smile)

3) Hold the "L" with the tip of your tong on the bottom of your front teeth. "...HELLLLA...."

4) Bring head back down
That girl is HELLLLLA hot! Works like a charm.
 
I abused the word hella hella times back in the day. The funniest thing was when I moved up to Seattle for college. There were hella people up there that used "mass" instead. It tripped me out. They would use it exactly the same way. "There were mass people at that party." I never got used to it and it dissappeared shortly thereafter.
 
^ LOL, Dave Chappelle. U kno what gets on my nerves..the guy from the ying yang twins who makes that dumb noise all the time. I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. The whole time they were on cribs he did it. It was hella annoying

Now I know I live under a rock.:o

I've never heard the term hella, or heard it used, and I have no idea who Paris Hilton is.

I find it hard to believe it started in the 90's when I know I heard it before that despite what the dictionary says... Paris Hilton was on FOX's the Simple Life with Nicole Richie...I belive she is the daughter of the owner of the Hilton hotels


.....UGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just realized I know more about this than I want to...:(
 
This thread is HELLA pointless.
I'm gonna stop checking it HELLA soon, or I'll go HELLA crazy.
 
i tried to stop using hella after i moved from san francisco to atlanta....but it didn't work...so instead my friends here in atlanta started using hella. it sounds hella weird hearing all of them say hella. sometimes they don't use it right, so it just sounds hella weird.

how can you use hella wrong??? thats hella impossible.
 
What is "Hella"??:confused:

Is it like "Hella Tight"?? LOL

I don't think many people use it as regularly as before...well according to me anyway.

So what do I know?
 
do people say hella on the east coast???

i've noticed i say "freaking" a lot. i've started to replace hella slowly with it.

i don't think so...people asked me what that meant when i first moved here and used hella. they say mad instead of hella. some people also use 'as hell'.

"it's hella cold" --> "it's mad cold" --> "it's cold as hell"

at least, that's what i hear. i also hear "thats wassup" but i don't think that could replace hella. hehe. :D
 
I hate "hella."

In fact, my only good association with the word "hella" is the episode of South Park in which Stan, Kyle and Kenny all get pissed off at Cartman because he won't stop saying "hella."

That was all kinds of funny.
 
I stopped using "Hella" around 88 when I was 13. That was after we(us "boyz in da hood") were in our short "dude" phaze;)

Me (from Northern California) talking to a friend: "Sorry we're late, there was hella traffic on 101."

Me talking to an acquaintance who might be somewhat prudish: "Sorry we're late, there was hel..err.. hecka traffic on 101."

My friend (from Southern California): "That must have been a helluva traffic jam on the 101 to make you this late."

It's hella crazy, but whenever I try to stop saying "hella", I can't think of a more appropriate word to put in its place. I don't know how anybody outside of NoCal ever gets their point across.

I'm not sure what that emoticon signifies, but a statement like that cannot go unrecognized...

:o I let one of my sayings out without even realizing it.

I try to avoid too much slang unless I'm around friends. I deal with so many people on a daily basis who are virtually incapable of having a conversation that's even remotely professional, and I've grown to find it rather unappealing.

However, there are a few things that I can't seem to let go:
  • I still refer to people as "hep cats" or "cool kittens" far too often -- it has officially gone from quirky, to affected. Even I admit it.
  • Most things in life can be described as "all kinds of ____." Bad food? It's all kinds of nasty. Cute guy? He was all kinds of fine.
  • I don't like things. I don't love things. No, not me. Even several years after it was popular, I'm "all about" things. If I see a great pair of shoes in the mall, I may remark to a friend, "Ooh! I'm all about those shoes."
  • I make up words. Constantly. Sometimes its unintentional -- they just get blurted out. Sometimes, however, there is a bit of thought that goes into it. Great experiences may be later described as "fantacular" or "spectastical" for no good reason at all.
