holla
Casual shout-out word
Holla is an exclamation used to get someone's attention or express enthusiasm, originating in hip-hop culture: Holla at me when you get there.
To holla at someone can mean to contact them, flirt with them, or simply speak up: I'll holla at you later.
The spelling distinguishes it from the older holler, though they share roots.
