Why do people say "holla" instead of talk?

Where did it come from?

Answer #1

they tryna be cool lol xD nah it may just be like where they’re from. like everyones got their own slang or accent. it may just be force of habit

Answer #2

agreed!! :P

Answer #3

It’s a slang word, I believe (from what I could find) that it is derived from the world holler i.e. to cry or shout to someone. As in when you shout out hello, you say holla.
