I think its time to bring up a topic that has been buggin me for a while. Southern cali folks where ya at on this one. When I first moved down here I saw something coo when I was chillin at my work. I said, "Damn that was hella tight" Everybody including some of the younger customers stopped what they were doing and looked at me. They then proceeded to say, "DID YOU JUST SAY HELLA?.....YOU FROM NORTHERN CALI HUH" I was like ya why? They then said no one out here uses that word except when someone from northern cali comes here. I found this to be true no matter where I go. I used that word alot in northern cali so I find myself slippin and saying it out here alot. Cats just look at you like your gay and shit lol. Sometimes I hear folks say it but for the most part people look at you like you just cussed in church and shit.
