*HELLA* from Nor Cal...!!!

HotFreeLayouts Wussuper NORCAL!!!!? I am a term coined in the East Bay region of Northern California in the early 1970's to shorten the term "hell of the a". I have been coming out of 3 generations of Nor Cal individuals mouths and that is something to be proud of for sure. The first person to say me was a teenager from east Oakland and he was in the parking lot at Quik Way Burgers hangin with his friends. He was high on that Humboldt sticky icky and came up with me for some reason or another. I spread like wild fire from then on and can be heard around the world by traveling Nor Cal people. It is funny to hear the reactions that people get when the I am used... It is usually "what the fuck did you just say?" or "are you from Cali". I am sure that some of you think that you invented me or know the person that did... but i remember the day I was born and I am from East 14th Street in East O-town. I am so widely used nowadays that I even made it to www.wikipedia.com See below- www.wikipedia.com hella From Wiktionary There are several theories of the origin of this expression. One is that it resembles other English dialectical shortenings like "sorta" or "kinda". It is thus a contraction of "hell of". This fits with the way it is used: i.e. "Norcal is hella awesome". Another is that it is derived from Hell + of + a, slang originating in the EastBay Area in the early 1970s, now used commonly by youths from northern California. The origins of the word itself are unknown, but some presume it to have started as a slang way of saying "Hell of A" by Mexican Americans. This, however, is not true because many Northern Californians regardless of race use hella frequently. It has lately become a shibboleth for people from Northern California as well as a point of local pride; for instance, with a t-shirt reading "Norcal - hella tight!" In Northern California the word is used primarily as an adverb or adjective, however, it can be sculpted to be used as any part of speech. [edit] Adverb hella 1. (non-standard) Very, an intensifier of adjectives in their absolute form. "I guess she seems hella stoned in her commercial and I have a thing for chicks that are stoned and/or drunk." [1] "I've been a Star Wars fan since I was hella young[.]" [2] 2. (non-standard) Much, an intensifier of adjectives in their comparative form. "[I]f next gen games look better than the current best PC games, then they will look hella better than the current Xbox games." [3] 3. (non-standard) An intensifier of verbs. "...eena was driving away, and the door was open, so i hella ran for it[...]" [4] "Oh.. today's Cyrell's bday.. we hella sang her happy birthday at the spot..." [5] 4. (non-standard) A replacer of "a lot" or "helluva lot". " We paid hella for that Chinese cuisine." hella 1. (non-standard) Real, an intensifier of nouns. "hope the LOCAL YOKALS didnt give u guys too hard of a time they can be hella assholes" [7] [edit] Clean Version "Hecka" serves as a parent and teacher-friendly version of "Hella" often used by children and serves the same etymological function. Its construction is based on "heck" being a "cleaner" way of saying "hell". If you see me somewhere and want to show me email me to me and I will share that too. Who I'd like to meet:
