6. Fasho
‘Fasho’ may not have originated from the Bay, but I’ve never heard someone from NorCal use ‘definitely’, ‘okay’, ‘yes’, or ‘you’re welcome,’ so it’s a versatile word that’s used quite often. All of the following statements could precede the response ‘fasho’:
“I’ll be there in 5”, “Good looks”, and “Cool if I grab a drink from your fridge?”
Good looks, A.
Hella good looks Geege!
Yee. Hella.
:) !
The facial expressions are perfect. :)
okay now I think that this isn't just NorCal. Most of this has been in the SoCal Lingo for long enough to become passe. I feel like I'm joking when I say "fasho" or "Hella", the rest isn't AFAIK as far as I know used in SoCal.lol
Some of this slang has spread.
But Hella definitely originated in NorCal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hella
