Um, because it’s spelled with 2? It’s a slang for “holler”, not the spanish for “hello”. If anything, it’s spelled “hollah”.
Because he probably meant “holler”, something a lot of hip hop folk say.
Of couse he’s a fucking idiot, so I can’t really extrapolate what he intended to say.
Oh yeah, and re: the OP: if it’s a joke, it’s a fairly stupid one. If not, well, it’s even more stupid.
Moody, if you’re not being sarcastic (g-d knows I can’t read people around here for shit), HOLLA is ebonics for “holler” (is that fair to say, I hope it’s not an assumption, should I clarify that I’m not being racist, g-d sakes I have to question every word I type in this “forum”) - he wasn’t trying to say Hola. (I can’t use a smilie or roll-eyes icon…“I’ve been warned”…it IS the Pit).
Okay, so I’m posting here - so I too am guilty for keeping this thread alive - - but why, if we all read the OP and think it’s ridiculous, do we bother to post and keep it going??? Here and in other forms. Why not just ignore it and let it die. Do we all really need to share our opinion of the stupidness of the OP, or have to flame someone for being stupid enough to creat the thread in the first place? Just curious.
Thank g-d there’s no curious emoticon. I’d probably be told not to use that either.
(Heavy sarcasm in use - - please wear protective gear or ignore. Whatever.)
Nice simulpost there Munch
<punch>
You owe me a Coke. 
Well, “hollah” woulda worked. Sure looks like hola to me.
P.S. Fine, I’m the knuckle dragger.
ssscrape
Well, no. Unless round is funny. Per Ed Zotti in the thread that launched a thousand threads:
So you can subscribe anytime before April 21 and still get this month free.
So…he was posting a JOKE THREAD…IN THE PIT.
Got it.
P.S. Yogini…get off the cross, for the love of the lord.
Can we call it an attempt at a humorous, preemptive social commentary on the inevitable jackholes who are going to bitch and moan about some sort of ill-perceived class distinction between Charter Members, Members and Guests and call it a day?
Look, a puppy!
[highjack] I’d apologize for doing this - but it is apparently a joke thread, so why not…
I guess you chose…“whatever” jar. Thanks for exerting the negative energy though…keeps the Pit hampsters greased and goin’ I suppose.
[end highjack]
Oh for the love of…
Yogini, are you or are you not pouty and hurt that someone told you to fucking lay off the smilies? If so, then your post did not include heavy sarcasm, it included bratty martyrdom
Almost 100% of the long standing posters on this board (including myself a thousand times over) have had their asses hand to them and been forced to examine the shit they were posting.
If it upsets you so much that you have to bring the baggage to other threads, maybe you need to step away from the keyboard.
Hamsters has no p

May I modify this and use it as a sig? Please?
See, Jar, the reason I said at the bottom of my post that it included heavy sarcasm, was indeed because the intent of my post was sarcasm! Only. I’m not pouty or hurt. That would mean I actually care what a bunch of strangers think about me…that’s worth lol’ing! But in the future, if I feel the need for “bratty martyrdom” I’ll definitely put that at the end of the post to make my intention to do so very clear. (Though, that’s what I JUST did and still you say…oh g-d, whatever, we will never understand each other. And I think we both can live with that. Namaste.)
Hamsters. No p. Got it. Thank you.
I like this one, personally.
That’s what I thought it was… an attempt to preempt (Wow! I can rhyme! In the Pit, no less! :p) an elitist attitude from appearing by those who’ve already paid versus interlopers.
'Course, I’m probably wrong and any other interpretation correct. ::: shamed ::: If so, perhaps I’m one of those who should go back to being a ‘guest’.
Well I’m sorry, but I have serious doubts about that, seen the contenance of your post and the fact it comes after:
Which makes your remark
superficial since you could deduct already that with “board” I meant “forum”.
You could have posted simply an explanation like you did afterwards. For which I thank you because although I was already familiar with that word and how it is used on message boards, I don’t write here in a languages I master. Hence it can happen that I replace a word I don’t recall at the given moment with one that comes to my mind as a useful replacement. Which is then clarified as I did above.

Hey, I like being a guest.
We are the freewheelin’ anarchists of the straight dope. Wherever we lay our hats, that’s our home. Every night, we hitch our wagon to a star. We don’t play by the rules but we get things done. We are the working class, the proletariat.
Charter members have sold out to The Man. They are under the knuckle of the Establishment. Come the revolution, they will be the first ones against the wall.
Guests UNITE! Be proud in your guestdom. Proclaim it from the hills.
Censorship!

I think Trunk’s the reason behind the phrase “Balti-Morons.”
Not me, of course. Or any other MAD’s.
