Drew Bell, his finger firmly on the pulse of the Youth of America, has busted out his slang Rosetta Stone and offered this definition of the mythical "Hollaback Girl".
//Of course, you know what a "hollaback girl" is, yes? She's the second choice. The one who, when you meet her at "the club", you part with nicely, in pursuit of another. If things don't work out with the hot one, you can always holla back at easier #2.
SO:
Gwen's character says: "You've been disparaging me to others in our social group. I am not one to be trifled with, Mr. High School Metaphor. I am (to borrow from "Mr. Show") Queen Shit of Fuck Mountain, and I will now destroy you (perhaps sexually?)."//
Well, there you have it folks. From the frontlines, a plausible story to explain just what Gwen's talkin' about. This, however, still doesn't explain the 1,000 costume changes, the Harajuku afro, the grocery store diversions, the appearance of that famous African-American musical star whose name cannot be recalled, or why bananas are so blessed important. But perhaps, that will come with time. Like heiroglyphics, I will continue to wonder just what a civilization foreign to me is trying to say - and why they want it said.

He deciphered heiroglyphs and is considered the father on Egyptology.
I know this because I have a fish mummy in my house, among other ancient Egyptian "trinkets".
