holla back girl

Derives from slang usage of the word "Hollenbeck," which is a police district station in East Los Angeles. The Chicanas from Hollenbeck, and their predecessors, were called "Hollenbeck Girls." Through jive talk, the name changed to "Holla Back Girl."

Yo, gonna get some Holla Back Girl and party... .

holla back girl

This is a derivation of "hula bach" girl. When hola hoops first took off, Bach was going through a resurgence since a one-hit wonder had remixed one of his songs. One popular way of doing hula contests was to play Bach on a record player, spinning it faster and faster. (It was easy in those days to adjust the motor.)

"Hula Bach" girls had a tendency to gyrate a lot, and older folks considered it sinful and easy. "Hula Bach girl" was taken on as an ironic phrase by the girls. These days it refers to someone who is unashamed of their promiscuity.

Her friends thought she was an easy lay, but Donna knew she was a true holla bach girl.

In the context of Gwen Staffani's new song, a holla back girl is a girl who will start a fight as soon as she hears someone may be talking about her behind her back.

"So I heard that you were talking s*** and you didn't think that I would hear it ... few times I been round that track, so it's not just gonna happen like that cause I ain't no Holla Back Girl"

holla back girl

A cheerleader who yells back at the crowd but doesn't do anything else. Usually ignored.

As in Gwen Stefani's song about not being a Holla Back Girl.

Notice the Cheerleading Theme to the song ?? Coincidence ? No.

Whe is singing about not being the ignored cheerleader in the back.

With this song, Gwen has got with a guy and he's saying she wasn't shit. She is not going to let her name and status be dragged down because she is the leader of the cheeerleadeing squad. She is challebging him to bring it on again and she will show him her skills.

Not being a Holla Back Girl, she is the leader of the cheerleading team, she could have made up a cheer to degrade him.
