scientists propose "hella" as new big number prefix (10^27)


Scientists Propose 'Hella' as New Big-Number Prefix - US Davis physicists want to honor NoCal's scientific legacy (http://www.newser.com/story/82220/scientists-propose-hella-as-new-big-number-prefix.html)

10^27 isn't anything compared to twice that, being Nonillion (10^54). But, I assume you are posting regarding what is said about "Hella" as a slang term.

I may go ape on a person who speaks the same way as the example given...

So... Hella- + -illion..... Hellillion?? Seems unnecessary to have such a word.

[stinky_180]

that is 10^27 funny

[slider2828]

I hope this gets approved so that we norcal folks can show up those snotty easterners that say we say hella all the time.... Now we can say yes its a real word.... grrrrr

[driven_]

that's hella crazy.

i wonder what Heckka is...

[!Zar!]

Cool stuff. Hella is party of my every day vernacular and people already understand it, so whatever. haha. Azndoc noticed this when he came up.

I find this funny though. it would come in handy for eventually measuring Internet traffic and US national debt.

hella lol

and i thought this was about a company with their aftermarket horns/lights/etc.

PS - i NEVER heard an east coast person use this word once. i only used it here just because the situation presented itself.

It's a NorCal thing, hella legit.

I never heard that word until i moved from philadelphia to phoenix....and i must say, i hate and am annoyed by the use of that word. I consider the person saying it, a douchebag. :eek2:

[hegamiz]

^ I second that!

I always though 'hella' was derived from 'hell of a' OR 'hell of a lot'... any truth to this?

[slider2828]

Wtf.... Norcal rep!!! Wtf....

[axiomatik]

i use 'hella' all the time. have ever since i saw it on a south park, and now i can't stop :ughd:

[Bubbles]

South Park usually gets a free pass..............but not on this one.


Shit's wack.

[!Zar!]

Even older people use the word hella up here.

[wh0aitznic0]

This girl I know uses it. She's a fat chick and thinks she's the shit. *facepalm*

Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.

[RightWheelDrive]

Aren't there more important things to worry about?

The term "hella" has been a long established norcal slang word. Opinions are still valid and there is nothing wrong with them but "hella" is part of norcal culture. I went to UC Davis and am born and raised in norcal so I used "hella" on a regular basis but a douchebag is a douchebag on his own merit, not because he uses a word like "hella" or "bro". Don't get that confused. Douchebags are people that can't make their own decisions and mistakenly follow trends to feel better about themselves. The fakers are pretty obvious to spot.

[wh0aitznic0]

<<<<Hella faker.

[drift freaq]

Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.

Love you? No. hate you? You're not worthy of hate. Obsession? Ah if you think its an Obsession you really are a mental moron.

Give it up Bubbles you're in the pick up league trying to compete with the major league.


Your comebacks are weak and leave you open to more shredding. Quite while you have a chance.

I always thought it was short for 'hell of a lot' as well. I picked up on the word when I used to live in Oregon. Now that I live in Texas, I hear it every once in a while, but not too often...

[Fonix36]

I was in northcal for a day and i started saying hella that shit is addictive. dam you northcal

HELLA FLUSH.

10^27 Flush?

Pretty funny this new word.. bloody scientists, i bet they put 3years into thinking of the name.

[!Zar!]

The thing about hella, is that it can be used in a more versatile way than other words; you can use the same word to describe many things.
