Blotto created this noun after discussion at Wiktionary:Information_desk/2017/December, but I don't know if it's citable. Google Books is not promising: mainly the phrase "hollaback girl" (in reference to a pop song title) or the name of a certain organisation (not dictionary content). If it is real, probably needs glossing "rare" or what not. Equinox 07:07, 3 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

As far as I can tell, it is not an alternative form of holla back, but is, rather, a shortened form of hollaback girl. I have added a second definition with that meaning (and cited it of course). Kiwima (talk) 09:48, 3 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
