just wtf is a hollaback girl?

[mcctatas]

and why does that stupid song keep going through my head?

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. That's the female aspect of the Funk Soul Brother.

[mcctatas]

2. great....

now I have something else I don't know about!

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. Search it on youtube.

:hide:

[redqueen]

4. As I understand it...

it's a girl that is amenable to booty calls.

[mcctatas]

5. Oh, well then I guess it makes sense that I ain't no hollaback girl

is the refrain

[MrCoffee]

6. Hang on...

There actually are girls who are amenable to booty calls?

Hmmm...

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. No. Too easy.

:hide:

[redqueen]

8. Well of course.

Not everyone of either sex is interested in dealing with relationships. Some just want a bit of fun now and then.

[Midlodemocrat]

15. You know one of them.

She goes by the moniker 'Beach Baby'.

[TZ]

23. Whoo boy.

I'd stay out of Jersey for awhile if I were you..

[Debi]

29. Ohhhhh you're gonna get it

:spank:

[flvegan]

17. Your mother's booty calls me all the time, Trebek.

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Dude!!!!!

I just texted you. Things go well?

[EvolveOrConvolve]

12. Bingo

I think there's also probably a function that shows that the more "hollaback girl" (x) a woman has, the smaller her brain (y). You could probably graph it with one of those cool calculators that the kids use now in school.

I know that I'm supposed to be all PC about women's issues, but if I had a daughter, the hollaback mentality is NOT something I'd want her to have.

[redqueen]

25. Nothing PC at all... just more Virgin/Whore bullshit.

Nothing new about that... not at all.

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Oh, FFS. Even *I* know what it is.

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
'Cause I ain't no Hollaback Girl
I ain't no Hollaback Girl



Doofus.

[mcctatas]

13. DID YOU CALL ME A DOOFUS!

Franzia withdrawal or something, sweetie? :eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

14. This shit is bananas. B A N A N A S.

:rofl:

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

28. Gwen must have some digestive distress...

:hide:

[CreekDog]

30. You mean to tell me you've listened to a song that came out after 1983?

:wow:

[Midlodemocrat]

31. Use to be my cell phone ringer, hater.

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

32. Makes my head spin to try to interpret the meaning of that

:rofl:

[keroro gunsou]

42. wow

midlo-san is cool.

i'm a dork. my ring tone is beethoven's 9th. the loud singing part. scares the shit out of people...

[bluesbassman]

16. If the doof fits...

:P

[supernova]

10. Hollaback Girl = Plan B, C, or even D girl

when you've ben rejected by the other girls you've met this evening, this is the girl you can come back to late in the evening "hollaback" and she will still say "yes" even if YOU rejected HER earlier.

Either way, it's derogatory.

:silly:

[PassingFair]

11. B-A-N-A-N-A-S

:eyes:

[Inchworm]

41. OMG! Thanks!

I've had this melody stuck in my head for weeks! I never could get the words to appear.. just the backup singers without words. I couldn't even answer "current earworm" threads!

I lurve you!

:hi:

[Symarip]

18. If it makes you feel any better

She threw a beer in my face when I was 15 - well before she was famous (but I was already awesome, obviously).

[mcctatas]

19. well if she could see you now...

she would be all "OMG, I am so sorry I did that, your hotness" ;)

[TZ]

22. Wow. You were already

An asshole at 15! You are a natural born Schmuck! :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

35. She was just trying to cool you off, Mr. Hotness.

[Symarip]

37. She knew I needed to...

Get my Midlo on!!
(cue 'the bunko girls' dancing to techno music)

[TZ]

38. .

You know, I would never ever get close to Richmond if I were you! Love that photoshop...:rofl:

[LostInAnomie]

20. It's hard to tell since she uses a double negative...

... but if Ms. Stefani is denying that she is one, it must mean talented musician.

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

27. Now *this* makes sense!

:applause:

[davsand]

21. According to the Urban Dictionary there are multiple meanings

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=holla%20back%20girl

Some folks see it as a "booty call" amenable female, others see it as, "a follower. Originally, a holla back girl was a member of a cheerleading squad who repeats – hollers back - words that the squad leader shouts out to them. Now, it means a girl doesn't stand up for herself, allowing guys to do whatever they want with her and she follows them, 'holla back' at them..."

either way, if you are stuck with a Gwen Stefani ear worm you have my deepest sympathies.

26. don't mind me...

...I'm just passing through. I'll be good. I promise.

:popcorn:

[jobycom]

33. It's a fucking awesome feminist song that scares little male egos, that's what it is.

Forget the Booty Call stuff, that's wrong. That popped up after the song.

A hollaback girl is a cheerleader who screams back to the leader. The leader yells "Give me an A!" and she yells "A!"

The brilliant and defiant Gwen Steffani (Not to be confused with the brilliant and defiant Stefani Germanotta :) ) was saying she's not going to be pushed around, that she isn't on this earth to do what other people tell her to do, that's she's got her own mind and she's not just going to holla back to whatever people tell her to do.

That's why the song has a cheerleader theme.

[mcctatas]

34. I like that explanation MUCH better!

I hate the song now (heard it far too often), but I was hoping that she hadn't strayed too far from her No Doubt days :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. thats what i always thought

[Tommy_Carcetti]

36. It's what Gwen Stefani ain't, which I can only interpret as then meaning...

....a singer whose songs are pleasing to the ear.

[rcrush]

40. Why can't you get a No Doubt earworm like a normal person?!
