Strip of dirt between the sidewalk and the street, notoriously hard to grow plants of any kind in due to several factors: lack of water, heat reflected from paved surfaces, foot traffic, trash, dog crap, and salt from winter snowmelt. Also called a tree lawn, inferno strip, devil strip and verge.
Most hell strips are public property that must be maintained by the property owner. That means the city can do whatever it wants to your hell strip - put in water and sewer lines or bus benches, pile snow on it, tear it up during street repairs and widening. In some cities you can be fined for not maintaining your hell strip, and in some HOA communities you must plant trees and grass in it and keep it watered.
The term is most often attributed to garden writer Lauren Springer, who popularized the practice of planting tough, drought-tolerant plants (including cactus) on hell strips. Now there are "planned" hell strip gardens offered by many nurseries.
When I get done landscaping the yard, I'll think about planting the hell strip.
Most gardeners find their "hell strip" to be that spot next to the sidewalk or the street that people's dogs potty on and gets blasted with full sun from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the sprinkler system doesn't quite reach.

When you're too angry to say no or hell no, the building rage inside you comes out as "HELL FUCKING NO!"
Dad: Son, we're moving away from all of your best friends and hometown. I know we've lived here for 14 years and know everybody, but sorry. We're moving.
Son: OH HELL FUCKING NO!

What you feel like after you've been greatly disappointed.
So we went to the restaurant after the glowing review in the newspaper and found the beef stringy, the corn soggy, there was a piece of pumpkin pie on the floor under the table, there was a crying baby across the way, somebody was smoking a cigarette in the corner, the waitress dumped a plate of chocolate pie of my head. On the way home, Dad commented, "Well that was a hell of a heck."
Dongle Hell is a special type of hell. It is a place where owners of modern apple electronics (Macbook 2017+, iPhone 7+) go to suffer for the rest of eternity to deal with dongles and a multitude of connectors & cables. Due to Apple's lack of physical ports for connections that are still very popular at the time of this writing, June 2017, users are forced to buy dongles and/or cables in order to use their connections that Apple apparently considers "legacy." Dongle hell could entail dongles for aux ports, USB 3.0 and below, SD card slot, HDMI and more.
You got the new Macbook Pro? How's dongle hell been treating you?
