"hella" proposed as SI prefix for 10^27 (theaggie.org)

I once overheard a woman on her cell phone say that it was "hecka-busy" in the store.

I fear there may be some who can't bring themselves to say "hell", and there will be confusion between the hecka- and hecta- prefixes.

The all heck will break loose.

:)

doesn't really have the same ring to it...
