altar ego

The specific deity or religious persona one wishes to identify with for reasons of spiritual growth. So called, because an image of such is often displayed prominently upon one's own personal altar.

e-holla

An brief electronic shout-out to a friend or family member when one is time-challenged - in order to at least touch base. From electronic + holla. Similar in its construction to e-mail (electronic + mail). An e-holla might also be considered a quick response to e-mail or other form of electronic communication. See holla-back.

I hadn't seen my sister for a while so I texted her a little e-holla on my way to the airport.
