What does "HELLA" mean?

The farmers from Northern California who settled here a long time ago (probably before the 1950's) were patient and slow people and took everything with ease. When they communicated to explain "VERY" they would say "hell of a" instead of "very" or "a lot". Then the city folks who migrated in later to the Bay Area took the Northern California farmers saying and shortened it to "Hella" instead of "Hell of a."
So in the end the word "hella" comes from the Bay Area city folks. Short and sweet.

She/he was hella sweet.
It was hella cool.
The ride was hella fresh.

HELLA - slang

No, it doesn't mean bloody or freaking. It actually means Hoes Eating Large Loads of Anus. Straight male prisoners used this term back in the 1950s and '60s to harass women, especially lesbians. Today, people just use it to fucking fit in.

Person 1: That drink was HELLA tasty!
Person 2: What? Do you even know what HELLA means?
Person 1: What does HELLA mean?
Person 2: HELLA means Hoes Eating Large Loads of Anus. Don't use it anymore, you sexist, homophobic asshole!

HELLA

Derived from "hell of a lot". Similar to "very, really, a lot," etc.

Used mostly in Northern California though has been heard in other parts of CA and even in the media such as an infamous "hella" South Park episode. (Cartman used it outside of its meaning to annoy Kyle.)

Before: There's a hell of a lot of beer in that fridge.

After: There's hella beer in that fridge.

As "very" or "really":

"That's hella far away!"
