Hella

Hella is an American slang term that originated in the San Francisco Bay Area, used to describe such as 'hella bad' or 'hella 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 [of]," 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."
