If you are from the Bay Area or have lived in Northern California for any length of time you have probably heard it used as part of the local dialect. Radio personalities use it, kids in high school say it, people describe their excessive hunger by embellishing with it. Hella, which can be used as an adverb or adjective, was among 2,000 new words selected this year by the editors at Merriam-Webster.
