who uses the phrase "hella"?

[BittenApple]

I hella <3 Oakland!

 

[SMDrew]

I only ever use it to describe the temperature when it is hot out. And even then only when the temperature reaches the "hella" range.

I stopped saying that in middle school.

 

[Counterfit]

It's hella lame.



"Goddammit Cartman! Stop saying hella!"

I only use it with another middleclass English friend o' mine who enjoys a spot of the South Park, pippip.

Dr. P - Oh did you book the tickets for Turandot?
Sir. J- Is it coming to town?
Dr. P - Why of course, it'll be at the royal Opera house.
Sir. J- Marvellous, that'll be hella fantastic.

Cartman?

Yep he does a lot lol just to annoy Kyle

 

[Mord]

Occasionally, my lingo is just so totally mondo.

 

[rdowns]

Never. I prefer the term "stunna".

Being from new england I say "mad" (big in Connecticut) and "wicked" (big in Mass). "Hella" is for wicked lame kids.

 

[zachplaysguitar]

I just say really. Unless you're in an area where it's popular, people look at you like an you're an idiot when you use it. I guess the same goes for most slang though...

yea same here

My posh aunt says it when she answers the phone.

 

[bradl]

what's more annoying than hella is hecka. makes me want to tear my hair out.

Glad it isn't just me, and it must be a NorCal thing (I'm in Sacramento as well). No-one back home (Nebraska) uses it, nor back at home (Las Vegas) uses it either. Certainly none of my relative back home (Oklahoma) use it, let alone heard of it..

But I feel like going up to whoever is saying it.. and slapping the smeg out of them.

BL.

 

[leekohler]

Gwen Stefani says it. I can't stand her or No Doubt. The answer is NO.

 

[Macaddicttt]

No.

I don't mind other regional expressions (eg. "wicked" or "mad") but "hella" is really irritating.

 

[bradl]

True.. but 'wicked' and 'mad' have been around for a while; Too many a time have you heard them in some Public Enemy rap.

[0098386]

Mad has always been used in Manchester though so you're still allowed to say that here.

 

[nevisbound]

When I hear hella these days it's usually a deliberate anachronism at least here around NYC.

No better place.

I am from Connecticut too. I suppose "mad" is pretty popular. You have to go up to worcester-boston-cape cod to get the "wicked" and I don't hear anyone say "hella".

We do say "package store" when referring to a place that sells alcohol which no one else says.

You mean 'packy'?

Wicked is New England-wide, and I don't think it's going anywhere as it's been around forever. 'Mad' on the other hand I would file with things like 'izzle/shizzle/fizzle', 'hella' and 'tight.' Only said for ironic intent at this point.

Haha! I have never heard of 'hella' but I do hear the word 'like' an awful lot more than is really necessary. What amazes me is that people, like, even type it when they write!

I'm from litchfield county...a good number of people say wicked, though I'd say we're more a real part of new england than, say fairfield county. I also went to boarding school/go to college with a lot of people from the Boston area, also. I did grow up with a bit of a New England accent as well...which my parents don't have (they're not from NE), I say 'lahhg'/log and 'fahhg'/fog, among others.

I do like 'package store'...I'm pretty sure that's something completely Connecticut, nobody knows what I'm talking about if I mention one.
