Hella
Hella is an American slang term that originated in the San Francisco Bay Area, before becoming widespread, used to describe things as hella bad or good, and eventually added to the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' in 2012. It is a contraction of the phrase "hell of a" or "hell of a lot ()," in turn reduced to "hell of." It often appears in place of the words "really," "a lot," "totally," "very" and in some cases "yes". Whereas ''hell of a'' is generally used with a noun, according to linguist Pamela Munro, ''hella'' is primarily used to modify an adjective such as "good."
According to lexicographer Allan A. Metcalf, the word is a marker of Northern California dialect. According to Colleen Cotter, "Southern Californians know the term ... but rarely use it." Sometimes the term ''grippa'' is used to mock "NorCal" dialect, with the actual meaning being the opposite of hella.
