lol ... hella hella hella

when i was in school in Santa Barbara, all the people immediately knew i was from the Bay Area. Let 'hella' slip once and that's it.

Of course the people who didn't grow up with the word would not like it or prolly punch someone in the face if they heard it. It's local culture and i'm proud of it.

Yes, I'm from Northern California, it's required to get a High School diploma here that you must be able to use "hella" in a sentence.

I'm so sorry if your intelligence level does not meet that of a 1st grader in order to answer this poll.
