At the risk of seeming old and totally out of it, I ask this question. I heard the song by Gwen Stephani on the radio, and I don't have a clue what a Holloback Girl is. Can you enlighten me?

from urbandictionary.com:
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.

Funny you should ask this question! I belong to another group where I asked the exact same question! I am only 29 and felt stupid for not knowing the meaning...you were not alone...

I had someone ask that to me a few weeks ago. I came up with the same thing... "Hollar Back, Girl"

I think I'll go Anon on this....thank you all for the explanation of a "Hollaback Girl". I assumed that's what it meant, but wasn't totally sure. Here's my question, when she's singing about "Bananas" is she really refering to what I think she's refering to? Or is she a fan of the yellow fruit?!?!

maybe her CD's should come with a listing of slang words and their meanings.

Nanwa,
I didn't know what it was either, but I barely understood what a Valley Girl was and I got along okay. I'm going to try the same technique this time.

I agree totally. She sings like a cartoon character strapped to a paint mixer.

Well, now you have me convinced. I don't think Paragon has ever used the word "Toodles".

In my estimation, songs were more better when they didn't have so much cussin'. I mean, I know we're hearing the radio edit, but since her lyrics are so garbled, I was forced to look them up online to understand just what she was saying, and I was shocked (very mildly) to see the frequency with which she was tossing around low-grade profanities. Really...was it necessary? Or do you have to be all street now in order to sell songs?

You know you are right, and I noticed that this weekend on TV as well. No one was watching TV in my household, but the tube was on HBO or something and my kid was playing with our dog. Well, I noticed the cussing on the channel so I changed it to CBS, and no sooner did I change it and someone was saying SOB, not spelled out, but the full cuss word, on a sitcom. I had to change it again.

Have you heard of the group No Doubt? She is/was the lead singer of that group and now she has a solo album out.
