Contraction of "hell of a (lot of)" that did some things which I could very eloquently explain at some time other than three in the morning that allows me to use it as a response to a "how" question, roughly meaning "excellent".

It's slang.

I know. That word came from San Francisco, where I lived.

But I am used to it being said before something else. "Hella cool", "Hella sick" or "Hella shit".

The United States have changed since you left.

Obama, for example, has taken to wearing Biden's knucklebones around his neck to remind him of the oath he swore to keep Biden away from office microwave.

Which, frankly, is just common sense.

More people should wear bones around their necks.

I mean, it gave Davos that fucking beard and made him strong enough to fight an Ice Warrior to a draw.

That would be the linguistic change it underwent. I think the gist is that the thing being described (cool, sick, shit) simply dropped -- if you ask "was that good?" and I respond "hella", the implication is that I am saying it is "hella good", but having the word "good" in my response is unnecessary, as it is understood.

Ah.

It doesn't tend to be a usual feature of my vocabulary, but I used it in this instance because it was a short word and I thought that you, as a middle-aged Indian businessman with a wife and child, would find it confusing.

In other words, you - you absolute bastard - just confused a sickly, increasingly senile man with a metal leg to what easily could have been his pathetic and miserable death?

I've been trying that for years!

I understand a fair bit of modern American slang. Some has even creeped into my vocabulary now.

I just loathe it.

I get too caught up in how linguistically interesting most of it is to loathe it.

That said, I have an add-on for Tumblr which automatically hides any post with the word "bussy" in it.
