  • Why, oh why, do people use this term?! I was at Starbucks this morning and the chick at the register said that to me. She seemed like an intelligent girl up until that point. NIGHTMARE.
    Weird. While it's a hip hop turned pop culture phrase, I don't see how it would fit into the conversation or why she would choose to use it during your exchange with her.



    If "hollah" ends up as a new word in Websters' I'm going to RAAAAAAGE.
    !
    I'm so irritated by all of the slang that makes it into the dictionary. It's so unnecessary.

    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.
    Man, I never realized what that term actually meant. I just ignorantly sang along. Haha.

    Well, at that point I hadn't consumed any caffeine and I was totally perplexed. It was so out of place and random.

    you should have just literally hollered in her face.
    a big ol' scream will prevent her from using that term again.

    its not as badd as you make it seem. HOLLA is used ALOT and its used in several different ways. Especially out here in cali, come on u should know this! The way this chick said it to YOU was like saying "WORD" or "SWEET". I use holla all the time, not a big deal!

    Yes it is a big deal because it's fucking stupid. Tell me in Cali do they still "raise the roof"?

    That would be "hola"...prounounced 'ohlah'.

    I'm so confused on this thread :p

    If it's pronounced 'ohlah' or 'O La' isn't that an informal spanish greeting term? :confused:

    As opposed to HOLLA as in Holler?

    My brain hurts.
    NERDS!

    Seriously...I'm learning so much about pop culture. And, as MCKB pointed out...I'm soooooo not "with it".

    The Spanish "Hola" is formal. It's an ACTUAL word.
