I just found out that there's a town in Iceland called, "Hella." --Feb. 12, 2008

 

BUT......

 

"Hella" in my username is a slang word meaning, roughly, "very", "extremely", or "many", possibly derived from "hell of a".

 

The word "hella" is an intensifier. It is a word like no other. It works as an adjective or an adverb. It replaces the words: really, very, a lot of, many...and so on. It can be use as an intensifier with both count and non-count nouns. It's also used as a quantifier.

 

The word "hella" is mainly used in Northern California, mainly in the Bay Area (OAKLAND, Berkeley, San Francisco, San Jose, etc). So, if you ever hear anyone using the word "hella" he or she is most likely from the Bay Area. Just ask, s/he'll say, "yes."

 

BTW, the song "Hella Good" by No Doubt was inspired by the people in the Bay Area/Northern California. YAY!

  

 

If you have any flan photos join the "Flan" group that I created. Yes, there's a flan group and it's really yummy.

 

 

I'm slowly learning how to use my camera. If you have any tips for me please feel free to email me. Thanks! Have a wonderful day!
