I'm embarrassed to ask, but what's a "Hollaback Girl" (that which Gwen Stefani ain't)?

Urban Dictionary has two definitions, one of which seems directly related to the Gwen Stafani song.

One who "hollers back", that is, returns a phone call or makes a phone call in response to an in-person request; a woman who is receptive to a man's (romantic or sexual) advances; not a "stuck-up boogee (bourgeois: in this context meaning both middle-class or given to faux middle-class air; not "street") bitch (in this context, meaning any female considered of an age to be sexual active, with only minor pejorative connotation attaching to it).

So, since she ain't no hollaback girl, then she's a bitch. A fighting bitch. How attractive. Glad I asked.
