From my understanding, it's from "hell of" which means "a lot" in an exaggerated way.

This lady I work with got kind of annoyed with me one day because she's from California, and she was like, "I did these blah blah blah exercises yesterday with my trainer."

I said, that's cool, my brother's coming to town next week, he's my trainer. She said, "Oh really for what?"

And I said, "He trains me in drinking beer."


Lol wow...youre hella lame

"why do californians say hella?"


Same reason the south says ya'll.

Is "hella" a contraction?


From my understanding, it's from "hell of" which means "a lot" in an exaggerated way.

Huh, that makes sense.

Slight correction on my part, it's "hell of a" that is where the "a" part comes in "hella". Just got corrected by my cousin who lives in Seattle. Apparently, ain't nobody got time to say "of" part lol.

Of course I do have a legit answer if TC is not just trolling.

Living in cities like San Fran or Los Angeles has high amount of job opportunities, which also means high amounts of people are going to flock to them. Most of these people who move into California for job opportunities tend to be over achievers who want to increase their chances in getting picked. This means being number 1 at what they do. I know I have a manager who's from Kansas that moved to LA specifically for the position he has at our firm. He's decorated af with a very impressive resume and work experience.

But honestly, those are the minority though. Most of us Californians living in the cities are just trying to live our lives and don't care about being overachievers.

But of course I have a feeling this topic was made specifically for trolling, so whatever at this point.


So asking a question about a state is trolling? Maybe it wouldn't be so annoying if I wasn't constantly surrounded by these people. So you're saying that most of the California transplants aren't from there? Is California not a state that is obsessed with their status / appearance?

We say both actually, we just use the word "hella" differently as in "hella a lot." We don't say things are "hella this" or "hella that"

There's a lot of vocal and visible people with a lot of money that jockey for status but there's way more people that don't gaf about either of those things

Appearances are slightly more important because we're outside all year long but again there's plenty of fat unhealthy people too.

Why is the internet so obsessed with Californians?


Because they are crowding our states up, and trying to turn them into California, especially Texas

The Texas thing could be huge, actually. If we have a blue Texas, things will be drastically different.


You mean drastically more expensive? Well maybe that's not a bad thing, maybe then everyone and their mother will stop moving here.

I meant at a national level. 36 more blue and 36 less red votes guaranteed.


You realize that doesn't count though right? Government will do what government wants, which is why we have electoral votes.

Someone that has enough money to uproot and move probably had enough to survive here but doesn't want to pay taxes. So it would make sense they are uptight.

You were doing more than just asking a question, but making belittling answers like generalizing hippies and leftists, hence why I felt you were trolling.

Anyways with that aside, what you describe are over achievers and I gave my guess as to why these over achievers are flocking over to cities like LA and SF. A lot of executives I know from Accounting Firms in LA aren't even native here and came here for the very reasons I stated. Like my manager from Kansas, which his degree and titles, it would absolutely be useless over there vs. here where he is making a comfortable 6 figures and moving up the ranks faster than me. Hell, I'm not even originally from LA, I moved from a rural area in Southern Texas mostly because of the job opportunities. So yes you can say these overachievers care about their status/appearance because it appeals to them.

A lot of natives from the area don't give a shit and if you're surrounded by assholes, then get new company.

just kind of annoying how everything is so crowded now because they are all moving here and how you can't even go to a park any more without a "reservation" because they care about their fitness and how they look. was at a park one day and this guy was like, "can you believe we went all the way down and back up the Grand Canyon in one day?"

another guy was saying to this lady, "Did you go up that hill over there ? It was fun."

It's like dude, we know going uphill is tough, you dont have to try and act like it is fun to make yourself look cool. You just make yourself look like someone trying to show off when you say stuff like that.

Colorado's kind of the same way. When I was at the Red Rock Ampitheater these guys were trying to run up the hill from the bottom, then this one guy was trying to hop up it with one foot. Another time I was talking to this one lady about running and she asked how far I ran and at the time it was 7 miles a day so I said that. Then she was like really? My friend does 13. And I didn't care, good for her. But everything has to be about looking good and showing off.

Have you just tried staying in your own lane and enjoying life instead of being miserable?

The californians you described seemed happy would be one thing if they were whining about wanting things different...but the people you whine about seem happy
