Some days you just feel old. Like when a coworker says, “Blondie? Wasn’t she like the Tiffany of her generation?”
Old. I’m old old old old old.

sweet I LOVED Blondie. I had a miniature version of that album cover from a collectable baseball card like gum product. My friend and I wrote a letter to Blondie deploring her to stop using drugs because we loved her so much and did not want to see her hurt herself. We never got a response.
We don’t need no stinkin mall singers.Tiffany? BAH.
I was actually googling Holibeck Girl when I ended up here. It was playing on the radio and since I was in front of the computer I thought I’d try to find out because I didn’t have a clue.< HREF="http://ask.yahoo.com/20060414.html" REL="nofollow">Hollaback Girl<> Then Google asked are you looking for Hollaback Girl and one of the few links that didn’t send me to Gwen Stefani’s lyrics, utube, or something similar, gave the answer it is cheer leader slang. The head cheerleader is the holla leads the chants and the rest are followers, holla backs. < HREF="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=holla+back+girl" REL="nofollow">Urban Dictionary Holla Back Girl<> also says it is slang for a girl that acts like a door mat or booty call when ever the guy wants it and then waits for the guy to caller her back for the next time. I’m a child of the 70′s and 80′s also I met a girl who was about in Jr high or a freshman in California when I was about 20 who argued with me that Thriller was Michal Jackson’s first album.. I’m in my mid 40′s and am still the youngest guy at work, I’ve been there for 20 years.. We got a new Tech who’s a year older but he’s from Sweden so he’s not up on Americanism’s. His wife is fun to talk to because she’s a year younger than I am and we make fun of him. He speaks English quite well but some times miss uses words or doesn’t understand more obscure ones and we have to explain/define them for him.
