I use it all the time and I hear it frequently since I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I always found it interesting how the phrase is mainly a NorCal thing lol.

normal people would just use the real bad word. They share the same first letter.

I never thought about it, but I probably say it more often than I think I do. Think of it as the Bay Area version of "wicked."

It's a Northern California thing (specifically Bay Area) and it's incredibly stupid.

"Hella" never really took off in Chicago. At least not from the part i'm from. Calling things "sick" to express its awesomeness is the most frequently used, out-of-place adjective i can think of around here.

i dont hear that word at all around pittsburgh but i do hear the phrase "I haven't seen/done that in a minute" which means you haven't seen/done it in a while.

I lived in both coasts of the US before. In the West they use "hella" and in the East they use "mad". Not sure if they still use that in the East now but I know they still use "hella" mostly in the Yay.

I live in Nor Cal, so naturally I hear it and say it hella much. I try to use wicked as much as possibe though. Wicked is way cooler than hella.

"Hella" is short for "hell of a" as in for example "we had a hella fun time" vs. "we had a hell of a fun time."
