   the rap dictionary clears this one up. can't calling men and women the same pro-nouns gets confusing?

   From urbandictionary.com.
   
   1. affectionate term for a girlfriend, attractive female or concubine. "Yo shorty, it's your birthday"
   Source: Billiam, Jul 2, 2003
   
   2. Originally used to mean a young man, new to the game. By new to the game, I don't mean he just meant a rapper, but he just started selling crack, just started rapping, whatever, but even simpler it was a term used to mean just a person much younger than you.
   
   Now, commercial rappers have turned the meaning upside down to mean a 'fine female', apparently."shorty's laugh was cold blooded as he spoke so foul,
   Only twelve trying to tell me that he liked my style"
   -NaS, 1994
   
   "Shorty is shaking her ass on my Hummer with spinning rims, or something."
   -average commercialized rapper today

   A shorty (sha-dee) is pretty much just a f*ck partner, someone you chill with, but wouldn't actually call your boo (your main thing). If you are already with someone, they are your piece on the side.I used to pretend you were just another shorty I put the naughty on...

   Duely noted.
   
   I don't mean to scope-shift, but what's up with "holla"?
   
   I get how things can mean diffetent things based on context - believe me, I get it. But, come on...
   
   "holla at'cha boy"
   "Ima holla at these b!t(he$, right here"
   "holla at my boo"
   "Ima holla at'chu later"
   and just plain "holla!!!"
   
   lets put it to rest. I liked "chicken head, too!
