Slang

[Siccflowtation]

I think West Coast has a big influence on other regions of the country when it comes to slang.How do ya'll feel when other regions and coasts use West Coast slanguage?

I don't really think that the west coast has a VERY big influence but it has a little. Like when I'm in another part of the country and say "Hella", cats look at me like "what did you say?!" But if I did hear someone using west coast slanguage, I'd think it was tight that not just us used it, and it would give me the impression that the west coast WAS being a influence, and thats a very good thing.

I DONT REALLY TAKE A STANDPOINT ON THIS, BUT SOMETIMES WHENI SAY HELLA, I GET THAT "WHAT THE PHUC DID YOU JUST SAY?" LOOK...ABA

 

[SCOCIOUS]

ay real talk, that "HELLA" is straight up bay area shit. i feel you on people asking u what the fuck u said when u out of state! even that one girl from no doubt learned that word from the bay and made a song about it.

Yup...I don't know why but people find "HELLA" funny
