Thread Name: Meaning of 'Holler'
Subject: RE: Meaning of 'Holler'
Regarding the likeness or relationship of hollerring to yodelling, it all started in the Swiss alps when a lost skier sought refuge at a chalet occupied by a man and his wife and daughter. The man of the house took in the lost skier on the understanding that he did not interfere with his daughter whom he would share a room with. Early the next day the skier took off quickly with the man of the house yelling or hollering from the front door, "You dirty swine, you interfered with my daughter" To which the skier yodelled or hollered," youroldladytoo " and that was the origin of hollerin.
