Wikipedia Knows All

I had been wondering recently about the meaning of the phrase “Hollaback Girl” from the Gwen Stefani song of the same name. Google pointed me to Wikipedia for the answer. I should have started there in the first place:

Although the term “hollaback girl” was never confirmed by Stefani, Greg Stacy of the O.C. Weekly assumed its meaning in the May 6, 2005 edition, writing, “Gwen is apparently the captain of the cheerleader squad; she is the girl who ‘hollas’ the chants, not one of the girls who simply ‘hollas’ them back.”
