Wrong and Holla

This quarter, a student has used wrong and holla in interesting ways.

He uses wrong as a predicate to mean unfair. "This is wrong," he proclaims,
meaning the way a paper was graded was wrong.

Also, he used holla to mean to spread one's arms out in a rapper-like
movement.

I haven't checked around for wrong, but holla doesn't seem to be recorded in
dictionaries.
