Hollaback Girl

In order to fully understand what a "hollaback girl" is, one must first understand what it means to "hollaback." When one hollas back, one responds to a verbal insult with their own reciprocal verbal insult. This in itself is not necessarily a negative thing, however to become a "hollaback girl" is something to be avoided. A "hollaback girl" is a girl who responds only with these verbal insults, without ever actually taking it to the next level and kicking some ass. In other words, a hollaback girl is all talk and no walk.
This phrase was originally popularized by Gwen Stefani via her song "Hollaback Girl" from her debut solo album L.A.M.B. The song was a response to a comment Courtney Love made about Gwen in an interview with 17 Magazine. Love reportedly stated "Being famous is just like being in high school. But, I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed."

Gwen, upon hearing this, did not hollaback like a petty cheerleader. She instead came back with Hollaback Girl. In explanation of the song she said "Someone one time called me a cheerleader, negatively, and I've never been a cheerleader. So I was like 'Ok, fuck you, you want me to be a cheerleader? Well I'll be one then. And I'll rule the whole world. Just you watch me.'" This is clearly in reference to Love's comment. And based on "Hollaback Girl"'s success, I'd say Gwen held true to her word and took over the world.
1.These bitches were talking smack, so I had to holla back.

Holdback

The tiny portions of a BLOB which have been intentionally and systematically removed from its original dataset prior to compression and encryption, for purposes of ensuring said BLOB can be freely distributed in this deconstituted form, yet cannot possibly be reconstituted without first reinserting said extracted portions to their original locations within the dataset.
Q: "I've tried to leech this first-run movie from five different torrent sites and p2p systems, but I can't watch it at all! I got the cypher and the encryption keys and I've tried to decode it, but all I get is garbage?"

A: "You'd need to reintegrate the holdback first.... Contact the vendor and they'll sell it to you. Otherwise, there's zero chance of decoding it... it's an NP-Complete problem."

Q: "I don't want to PAY for it!"

A: "Sucks to be you."

hollaback girl

It seems as though Ms. Stefani has had some incidents in which another young, presumably female, individual has made some disparaging remarks about her character. Upon learning of the situation, Ms. Stefani is informing this “culprit” that she intends to handle this matter physically. Ms. Stefani’s character is such that she is not the type of person who counters verbal attacks with verbal attacks, or “hollering back.” Using terminology that is commonplace among today’s youth, this is shortened to “hollaback.” Additionally, it appears as though this altercation will take place somewhere near the bleachers.
lyrics:
I heard that you were talking shit
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
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms downs, getting everybody fired up
