What does this phrase mean?

Was stopped by a US tourist earlier today, just general banter whilst waitingin a store for lunch. On parting, this guys has cracked off a "yeah, holler at your boy"...WTF?

Makes no sense, we'd heard the term before. Is it "Holler" or "Hollow" and whose "boy"? Might be US thing, I dunno, but it had us stumped. Can someone shed some light on this?

Holla. The word is holla.

Has multiple meanings.

(1) gimme a call sometime
(2) Give a mutual friend a call
(3) let a mutual friend know that someone is trying to get in contact with them.

Better? It is a dumbass saying used by the younger generation. Honestly, makes not much sense to us either.

It means "I'm an enormous douche, and I'll say anything I hear on MTV in order to appear trendy and, as a side effect, ignorant."

**Cidp24** · 09-18-07, 11:12 AM

You may have heard it wrong. It was probably "Yeah, Holla at you bud".

It is youth slang used by some teenage douchebags. Personally, I have no idea what it means but hear it all the time.

I assume that means leave, as in rotate your tires. Or twenties/dubs

Basically it means:

"My mother should have beat my ass more when I was growing up, not let me watch BET, not let me think I'm Tupac, and put a fucking book in my hand instead of a basketball."
