Lol you.

Um , bogus yeah. Big time. Heinous, yes, but it was really just a short term
thing during the movie's run. It didn't stick. Other things that stuck were
quips from ninja turtles. That always annoyed me because, by then, i was too
old to be in that group. But things like 'totally tubular' hungaround a bit.
But those are really just mimicking movies. They didn't pop into the
conscienceness organically like hella.

Things lke hella were natural slang that came from the people. Same as cherry.
But, you'll really only hear 'cherry' among those whoskate, surf, and other
water activities like wake boarding and live near the coast. Cherry actually is
dying as term but I use it still because it has a perfect meaning.
