Actual conversation overheard by me at McKinley Park after work:
Girl One: I want to go somewhere different this year though.
Girl Two: Yeah. Not like somewhere hecka touristy either.
Girl One: I know. I want to go somewhere with like hecka museums and hecka restaurants and, just like…
Girl Two: Hecka culture.
Girl One: Yeah. But definitely not like hecka tourists though.
Girl Two: Maybe like Greece or something.
The next day at the farmer’s market I saw a dude wearing a T-shirt that said, “THE DEVIL IS A PIMP. DON’T BE HIS HO.” Now, I ask you: is there not hecka culture right here in Sacramento? And not even hecka tourists either?

My question is, how can people who use “hecka” that much afford to go to Europe?

I was wondering if like Greece is like the name of a new resort in like Las Vegas or something.

I’m surprised they didn’t drop in a good ol’ helpin of “hella” to diversify their broad mix of local speak.

I think they were too lady-like for the real thing so they went with hecka to be polite.
