Congratulations, you are officially old. Next step: yelling at those kids to get off your lawn.

Considering I was of high school age when "hella" was big, I think I'm entitled to be angry about it.

It's just a bit of fun. There's nothing to be angry about. It's not actually going to become an SI prefix.

Me too! Everyone knows the proper usage is "hella rad." Kids these days have no respect for grammar.

I think we are going in circles.

What if they said "wicked cool" instead?

were talking about NorCal, not the UK.

"Wicked" is a Boston expression as far as I was aware.

Perhaps it is, I only remember it from growing up in London (alongside with massive overuse of "brilliant")
