lol I had to look it up. There was a pop song that said "holler back" meaning yell back? I have used the word that way often.

No... in the mountains of (where I 50% grew up) Virginia/Tenn a Hollar (not sure if spelled correctly) is a valley. My dh said they were called shut ins in the Ozarks. anyone know???
When I looked it up it said hollar ment down the road a spell. My sil will say a "fur peice down the road" or "over yander"
it is funny how there are so many different meanings. I love the study of language.
