An over the top greeting from a gay person in Hawaii; a take on the Hawaiian word for “
thank you”. combines the words “mahala” and “holla” (holler).

Jack and Sebastian had just arrived at their hotel in Honolulu when Jack spotted his
high school English
teacher.
“MaHOLLA Ms. Ostlund!”
Ms. Ostlund’s life
partner looked at her and said, “Tell me that’s NOT one of your brightest students!”
