I still use most of the hella tight slang I grew up with
i picked this one up from living in california for 15 years and it keeps tripping up the people i talk to everywhere else i've lived since then.
i don't even notice that i do it until someone points it out to me. lol
I feel like hella was the west coast version of wicked.
That was hella wicked.
I called something “the bomb” the other day and my mind did a record scratch, like, did I actually say that unironically??
My nephew's initials are b.o.m.b unintentionally.
He's the bomb.
I dig your vibe, dog.
Who you calling a dog, dawg?
I'm finna get my homeboys to whoop your ass, you dig homeslice?
Yo Bro, cool your jets.
Huh.
