Holla Back Girl - what is it?

A holla back girl is a member of a cheerleading squad who repeats โ€“ hollers back - words that the squad leader shouts out to them. For example at a Pep Rally, cheerleaders might shout out โ€œS-P-I-R-I-Tโ€ and the squad leader asks โ€œWhat does that spell?โ€ and the holla back girls respond โ€“ hollering back โ€œSPIRITโ€. In the context of Gwen Stefaniโ€™s song โ€œHollaback Girlโ€, the term also refers to a girl who has heard about some guy talking bad about her and she isnโ€™t just going to take it โ€“ she is going to be the leader, take charge and put an end to his verbal โ€œcheerleadingโ€.

Gwen Stefani lyrics - "I heard that you were talking sh** And you didn't think that I would hear it. People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack. . . . 'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl,I ain't no hollaback girl"

Holla Back Girl - what does it mean?

A girl that pursues men. He doesn't want to do the work in a relationship with her, he wants to keep things casual with lots of females, so he tries to line up a harem of girls to call (holla at) him. These are his holla back girls.

A girl that does wait for a guy to call her. She is impatient and insecure in the relationship, so if he gives her the slightest attention, chats her up a bit, and then tells her to call him, to "holla back" at him, she obliges happily. He forgets about her otherwise, since he is doing this with lots of girls. She does the work. She hollas back at a guy that gives her any attention at all just because he tells her to.

Jakes sees Michelle at a bar and is meeting his friends, so as he passes her he tells her to "Holla back at a brother" and keeps walking. She thinks he is interested, or else he would not have said that, so starts calling him as soon as she gets home, until she tracks him down. She is one of many girls he casually says this too, and she does whatever he wants for a date. She is a holla back girl.

Holla Back Girl - meaning

A girl that a man calls irregularly, whenever it is convienient for him. A girl that a man feels that he can call, stop calling and then start calling whenever he feels like it. She is someone who is there for a booty call or to chill when a man is bored or between girlfriends. He HOLLAS back at her and she responds by being there for him and accepting whatever she can get from him.

A man gets a woman's number, they go out a couple of times have sex, and then he stops calling her. He then calls her a month later for a booty call, and they have sex that night. He calls her 2 months after that, and she accepts his lame excuse for not calling, and they get together again. The man takes advantage of the fact that this woman likes him, and will happily accept his irregular calls. He identifies this woman as a holla back girl that he can holla back at whenever he is in her area, bored or horny.
