A holla back girl is a member of a cheerleading squad who repeats – hollers back - words that the squad leader shouts out to them. For example at a Pep Rally, cheerleaders might shout out “S-P-I-R-I-T” and the squad leader asks “What does that spell?” and the holla back girls respond – hollering back “SPIRIT”. In the context of Gwen Stefani’s song “Hollaback Girl”, the term also refers to a girl who has heard about some guy talking bad about her and she isn’t just going to take it – she is going to be the leader, take charge and put an end to his verbal “cheerleading”.
Gwen Stefani lyrics - "I heard that you were talking sh** And you didn't think that I would hear it. People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack. . . . 'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl,I ain't no hollaback girl"

Gwen Stefani's use:
A person who verbally postures (hollers back) in an argument and does not step up and fight. Gwen says she is not a holla back girl, implying that she will fight if challenged.
I ain't no holla back girl.

Yep, this is B-A-N-A-N-A-S. A song about high school cheerleaders(??) performed by a 35 year old woman.
I know I'm 35 but if you talk shit about me I'll ask you to meet me under the bleachers, of the high school I graduated (??) from 17 years ago, so I can kick your ass.

"holla back girl" goes waaaaaaaay beyond simply not being a doormat. As noted elsewhere, at it's simplest, a "holla back girl" is one who waits for the lead cheerleader to holler, before she hollers back. In Stefani's song, she's responding to someone who said some shit about her, and she's saying teling that person that she's not the type to simply holler some shit back. Instead, she's gonna deliver an asskickin' to the shit-talker. Thus, in the context that Stefani uses the term, a "holla back girl" is someone who's nothin' but talk.
An holla back girl's response to being insulted:
Girl 1: You're a bitch.
HB Girl: No, you're a bitch. And you're fat and ugly too!
A NON-HB Girl's response to the same insult:
Girl 1: You're a bitch.
NHB Girl punches Girl 1 in the face, making further commentary entirely unecessary.

OK, here's the shit...
A Hollaback Girl is a girl who answers when a scrub hollas up "Yo!" at her from a car. A girl like that ain't got no standards. She'll talk to any guy, no matter how lame or uncool that guy is. A Hollaback Girl is just another step down from a "Ho."
Some scrub hollas up; "yo girl, where you go-in?" And a hollaback girl yells back..."ain't gone nowhere boy...whachu you do-in?"

A girl who in another language can be defied as a hoodrat, i.e. a woman who will be at the beck and call of a man or another woman for the purpose of sexual intercourse or another form of sexual gratification.
In spanish: "Piruja" or "Trampa".
see also Ice Cube: "Thats the kind of B*#^H you can call at 2 in the mornin..."
El Smiley hooked up with this little hoodrat from Cudahy. He calls her everytime he wants some. She's his holla back girl.
or-
"Hey baby. I can't stay all night. I'll holla back when I get a chance."
