A day or so ago someone wished me "Peace and hollaback" in the comments and left me stumped - what is this hollaback?? Being a resourceful sort of chap I've been off and done some research and I found this site. Now I can't speak for Mr Stacy's academic credentials, his qualifications aren't cited on the piece but he seems to understand the subject.
Oooh, this my shit, this my shitI'm sure all you dudes and dudettes will know what all this is about but I'm still somewhat bemused. As long as it isn't obscene - peace and hollaback at ya!
Gwen repeats this four more times. She wants to make sure that we are well acquainted with her shit.
6 careful considerations:
Nigel - are you too young to remember Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's searing analysis of "Got My Mojo Workin'"? Priceless.
Hi Rob. Not too young but I'm not familiar with it - but people who know me tend to avoid asking what the worst job I've ever had is unless they want some classic "Derek & Clive" mentioning lobsters and the late Jayne Mansfield.
I think I'll have a furtle around and see if I can find the piece you are referring to - cheers!
Okay so if I get this right it's either someone with a spinal deformity or someone who doesn't discriminate when offered junk food. Is this about right? If so I'm at a loss to understand why Ms Stefani might want to sing about either of these unfortunates or - worse yet - why anyone might use it as a salutation.
Many thanks Squid (can tell it's you rather than Wendy because you used a rude word whereas Wendy has far more couth :-))
You may find this site enriches your grasp of the profound significance of Gwen's lyric.
Well I read all 59 suggestions and I cannot claim to feel any better informed about being a "hollaback" but it reminded me that being prepubescent means that 35 is "old"!
Gosh Squid - I followed your advice. Thanks for not graphically describing what I thought were descriptions of food. I feel queasy now.
