Huh?! What is Gwen Stefani saying?
I have been listening to Gwen Stefani's new album, and she uses a lot of slang!
I get most of it, but some of it i just don't understand. Can someone please explain to me what these sentences mean?: 1. 'I aint no hollaback girl' 2. 'This my ****, this my ****' (this four letter word gets censored. It rimes with 'hit')

This is my own interpretation "Hollaback girl" means a girl that is not controled by other people. In another words, when people holla that means call so when you call somone back it's hollaback and she is not someone who can be hollaback. And the 2 thing she is just saying that it's something that she has made!! that's all!!

Not being a holla back girl means not being a call girl, like... what do you call them... when a guy 'wants some', he calls her up? And this my **** means hey everybody this is my material it rocks

hollaback girl would be like someone who responds to guys cat calls (hollas) and such, at least that's what I always thought. So it'd be like she is too good for guys like that/she has more respect for herself than to give guys that holla at her the time of day.

Ok.. checked Urban Dictionary and the lyrics for this song...
Seems like it means that she's not gonna be one of those girls who is just gonna talk **** back to people that talk **** about her, but that she'll be the one to pound them.  Lyrics Quote:
#8 seems to make the most sense when you look at the lyrics. I'm glad that a lot of people seem to have no clue what this means.. haha.

‘This s**t Is Bananas’
A probing analysis of Gwen Stefani’s ‘Hollaback Girl’ by GREG STACY Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” is one of the most baffling pieces of music of the modern age. It’s got something to do with cheerleaders—that much is clear, judging from the chanting and the marching band that’s honking and tooting in the background. Beyond that, good luck deciphering the song’s ambiguities. We were so vexed by the mystery that is “Hollaback Girl” that we have devoted countless hours to its study. Our conclusions are below. The first thing you should know, though, is that Gwen is not singing “I ain’t no Harlem fat girl”—at least, we don’t think she is. Uh huh, this my s**t Gwen is introducing us to her s**t. All the girls stomp your feet like this This talk of s**t and stomping has nothing to do with actually stepping on feces. But what does it mean? From a reading of the later text, we can conclude that the song takes place in the world of high school athletics, and that Gwen is apparently leading the girls in a calisthenics exercise. The “s**t,” we surmise, is what she calls the exercises she’s teaching the other girls. A few times I’ve been around that track So it’s not just gonna happen like that Here, Gwen exhorts the girls to try harder as they jog around the track, reminding them that physical fitness is “not just gonna happen,” but must be worked at. Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl I ain’t no hollaback girl These lines are the most confusing, but their meaning will become clearer later. Oooh, this my s**t, this my s**t Gwen repeats this four more times. She wants to make sure that we are well acquainted with her s**t. I heard that you were talking s**t And you didn’t think that I would hear it Gwen has been the victim of some slanderous high school gossip, and she doesn’t appreciate it. Gwen is 35 years old sliding into MILF status at this point, but we’ll grant her some poetic license. People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up So I’m ready to attack, gonna lead the pack Gwen is going to round up a “posse” of her girlfriends and retaliate against the person who’s been talking “smack” about her. Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out Gwen is going to beat up the person who wronged her, after she completes the cheerleading routine that will inspire the football team to score a touchdown. Gwen has interesting priorities. That’s right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up It seems the entire cheerleading squad is going to beat up the person who spoke ill of Gwen; they have put down their pom-poms, and they are now “fired up” to exact swift and terrible vengeance on Gwen’s behalf. A few times I’ve been around that track So it’s not just gonna happen like that Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl I ain’t no hollaback girl Gwen is apparently the captain of the cheerleader squad; she is the girl who “hollas” the chants, not one of the girls who simply “hollas” them back. Given that the squad is preparing to beat somebody up on Gwen’s behalf, she’s picked a strange time to remind them that she is their leader and they are her sheep-like followers. Gwen obviously rules her squad with an iron fist. Oooh, this my s**t, this my s**t [repeated four times] Again with the s**t. So that’s right dude, meet me at the bleachers No principals, no student-teachers Both of us want to be the winner, but there can only be one So I’m gonna fight, gonna give it my all We learn that it was a “dude” who gossiped about Gwen. She challenges him to a fight at the bleachers. If he imagines it will be a fair, one-on-one fight, he is sadly mistaken. Gwen and her aforementioned “pack” will pounce on him like rabid wolves. Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you That’s right, I’m the last one standing, another one bites the dust Gwen’s pack of furious cheerleaders leaves the boy a quivering, bloody heap behind the bleachers for the groundskeeper to discover the next day. A few times I’ve been around that track So it’s not just gonna happen like that Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl I ain’t no hollaback girl Having completed their ghastly work, Gwen’s squad members return to the field and resume their cheerleading activities, as Gwen reminds them once more that she is the boss and they are all her *****es. Oooh, this my s**t, this my s**t [repeated four times] By calling her exercise routines “s**t,” Gwen is showing us that for all her bravado, the character in this song secretly suffers from profound self-esteem issues. She is a complex antiheroine for an age of changing gender attitudes and expectations. Let me hear you say, this s**t is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S Here, Gwen steps away from this bloody spectacle for a moment to comment on the madness and ugliness of what we’ve just witnessed, and, by extension, the petty rivalries of high school in general. This s**t is bananas, Gwen tells us, and we can only agree. And lest we miss the point, she spells it out. And repeats it another three times. A few times I’ve been around that track So it’s not just gonna happen like that Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl I ain’t no hollaback girl Back on the field, Gwen is still bullying the squad to carry out her routines. But now we see her in a new light, as the sad, lost creature she truly is. Oooh, this my s**t, this my s**t [repeated four times] As the song fades out, Gwen is left only with her “s**t,” the mindless exercises that bring her no comfort from the raging emptiness within. As much as she “hollas,” no one hears her cries for help.

This song is talking about all her No Doubt fans sending her hate mail saying "Why did you leave No Doubt" and things like that but really mean. Shes saying like I can do what I want now leave me alone.
