hollaback girl :

A female, usually a teenager or young adult, who, when insulted, will reply verbally. This is typically achieved by insulting the original insulter (otherwise known as 'hollering back', shortened in this case to 'hollaback').

This term was popularized by Gwen Stefani, a female vocalist who once performed lead vocals for a rather good band, No Doubt. Gwen has since gone solo, which people either love or hate, depending on how much they suckle upon the mainstream teet.

In her song "Hollaback Girl", Gwen proclaims, when challenged by another girl (even though Gwen can hardly be described as a girl) through insults, that she "Ain't no hollaback girl". This is because Gwen is not a girl, but a woman, isn't going to stand for this, and is going to settle it physically.

(Note: The song, from this point, degrades into the usual Gwen Stefani lyrics: pointless, annoying, and unbearably catchy).

The trained puppet type, no individuality.
Someone who would never survive outside of the chorus.
The cheerleader that will never be a leader.

The term has been around awhile. Originally a "hollaback girl" is a girl that you might pass up early in the evening, but you might "hollaback" at her if you don't have better prospects when last call rolls around. I think Gwen just liked the way it sounded and made up her own meaning.
