What IS a holler back girl....

[WCGreen]

I have been pondering this great question now for minutes if not seconds and for the life of me, I do not understnad this of which Gwen Stifani Speaks......

Is it that she doesn't return Phone Calls.....

Is it that she refuses to Holler Back acrost the Holler in the back hills of Kent u ky...

Is it that she refuses to be taunted a t sporting events (apparently there are many young chearleaders in skimpy outfits involved with all this Holler in'. I think it make take more on the ground exploration if this is the case)....

I also hear, from some. that a holler back girl is someone who hollers back when she is arguing with her boyfriends....

In any case, this phenomina is sweeping the country as young woman all over this land are hollerin' very loudly, when ever given the chance, to tell us they are not the Hollerin' type.....

[Jokerman]

1. The way I understand the term is:

A girl you meet that you might want to "holla back" to later, unless someone better comes along.

[WCGreen]

4. Oh Give me a holla back....

Is close to I'll call you later....

And if Gwen sin't a holla Back girl does that mean she never returns phone calls.....

Oh, she is into instant messaging.... I see.....

[Hotler]

2. Shit! Now I want to know also. eom.

[CottonBear]

3. I've pondered this question as well?

They seem to dance while hollerin'. :shrug:

[WCGreen]

5. I thought they were doing pouty aerobics....

That was dancing....

[supernova]

6. The second choice girl

She's the girl you meet earlier in the evening that you might like.

If you don't see anyone else you like better, you "holla back" at her.

From the girls POV, it's definitely not flattering.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Wow...you mean guys actually meet more than one woman in a night?

Wow...what's that like?

Yeah, that seems a patronizing term.

[supernova]

8. Ha Ha

Well, if you do a lot of nightclubbing and such, I suppose you do.

[GOPisEvil]

11. Ahh...that explains it.

My nightclubbing days never really existed. I was never much of a clubber.

[WCGreen]

13. In my day, we would treasure the chance interaction

with one fothe opposite sex. Gather their phone numbers and try to rationalize calling them....

I had quite a collection of women who seemed to work in Barber shops
give me their phone numbers

[GOPisEvil]

14. Well...ya gotta be who ya are.

And I'm not a club guy. So there might be a reason I'm single, eh? ;)

[WCGreen]

15. Maybe they aren't really holla back girls if they don't wanna

give you a holla back....

I'm confused....

So Gwen is upset about boys not thinking she is not good enough for them, that they are trolling for babes...

Kind of like a woman who gets a lot of attention as the lead singer in a band and when something better comes along, walks out on those that helped get her there.....

Huh, that's ironic, don't you think

[Karenina]

33. You mean, like Madonna?

:shrug:

[WCGreen]

9. A male being patronizing in the "Hip Hop" World.....

I am shocked hear me shocked that such a thing woudl happen....

[Midlodemocrat]

10. I think it refers to cheerleaders.

There is a reference in the song that includes pom poms.

[WCGreen]

12. I beieve that could be true....

Although the chearleaders on display in what the kids call Music Videos, don't seem to be chearfull at all.....

As a matter of fact, they seem downright angry about something....

[Heidi]

17. I agree.

I believe the video also has cheerleaders in it.

[Wetzelbill]

16. It's a girl who sells out her song writing ability to continue her career

in the face of her advancing deep into her thirties.

But, she still looks good.

[WCGreen]

18. There you go.....

[khashka]

32. Oh! That was nasty!

But true.

Khash.

[Wetzelbill]

34. but Khash

as you know from another thread, I would not in any way, shape or form have any trouble whatsoever sleeping with that gorgeous woman. It would be an honor, in fact. :evilgrin:

[khashka]

37. Nor indeed would I

Go figure....

Khash.

[lazarus]

19. according to my teenage daughter

a hollaback girl is one who will break up with a guy but, if she gets lonely/can get a date/gets horny, will then "holla back" to him, basically stringing him along. It's a very nasty thing to do, making a guy think a relationship is back in the offing when you actually just need a date for some reason.

[WCGreen]

20. Oh nasty shit there

[lazarus]

21. yup

my ex (her mother) played me like that for years.

[WCGreen]

24. It's good she is your Ex then

I think we have al been played like that at one time or another...

[Heidi]

28. Does your daughter understand

that the "hollaback" phenomenon has been essentially a male phenomenon since time began? (No, I don't think it's right when either gender does it . . . but why are women suddenly being especially dissed for it?) :shrug:

[Wetzelbill]

35. oh it's almost ingrained in the male DNA

I get your point completely.

[WCGreen]

36. I just wanted to know what the hell it meant......

Hey, like I said up stairs, I been the holler back boy a few times in my life as well......

[lazarus]

38. Hey

welcome to equality. :hi:

It's apparently a particularly vicious new strain in today's youth.

[Heidi]

39. Yeah, but I'm "old school" on equality:

Human decency is ageless and genderless.

[kodi]

22. a woman with curvature of the spine?

just guessing here.

[Raiden]

23. What?

Mmmmm! Gwen Stefani :freak: :spank:

[Dave Reynolds]

25. Holla out,

playa.

[EstimatedProphet]

26. It's damned annoying, that's what it is

[last_texas_dem]

44. I'm gonna have to agree with you there

:hi:

[MrSlayer]

27. It's Holla and it's another word for whore or slut.

A girl that is willing to be treated like a doormat or booty call. She is a girl that will allow guys to do whatever they want with her and will just wait for them to 'holla back' at them.

[Swede]

29. It's a girl who puts out any time any where.

Aw Gwen.:cry:

[Dastard Stepchild]

30. But the real question is: How could Gwen be one?

She's got money, seems to have self-confidence, and is, so I hear, easy on the eyes.
Does she really run this risk? :)

[WCGreen]

31. Marketing and market share....

[Bouncy Ball]

41. No, she says she's NOT a hollaback girl.

You do NOT want to be a hollaback girl.

[SidDithers]

42. Wow, Gwen really looks like Willie Nelson in that pic... nt

Sid :)

[WCGreen]

43. And so serious to boot....

SO more people are miffed by exactly what constitutes a holla back girl....

So I am not alone at being perplexed by the banality of modern culture....

[Kire]

45. it's supposed to be an anthem

to reach out to girls who are holla-back girls something empowering to sing, when somebody tries to holla back at them

[WCGreen]

46. Oh.. So she is making a social statement to her "peeps"

[Lex]

40. Prior thread at DU with info on this topic too!

47. My sister bought that album when it first came out.

When I heard that song I thought she was saying "I ain't no hollow fat girl." My sister rolled her eyes at me and said no, it was "I ain't no Harlem Black girl."

We both must be old.
