And it’s also to help settle some disputes over who claims what word, Northern California or Southern California. Well, “hella,” which is a Northern California word, which means “really,” like, “hella good.”For a helluva good time you say hella.

But it came out of Northern California. “Marina Girl” may be the Northern California equivalent of Valley Girl?
