In English, when you make someone "holler uncle!" it means "do you give up now?" It is specifically used when someone is being an unbearable annoyance, so you sit on them, and you don't let them up until they indicate they recognize they have been an annoyance and are prepared to change, by hollering "uncle!"
No, that's not how it's used. It's used to *bully* somebody, pure and simple. I've dealt with many a bully in my day, so I should know. (And I am an American.)
