holler trail

English to Spanish Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings Short story
1. Amanda: “Ma. Why do you have to use the vacuum cleaner at seven in the morning? Aren’t you going to work? Where’s Pete?”
2. Darla: “Oh, your brother’s got the holler trail. Darla answered. “I have to watch him. He was throwing up all night.”
3. Amanda: Poor thing. Well, I guess I’ll have some cereal and get going,” Amanda announced breakfast to her mother who was busy vacuuming again

Discussion

MollyRose Jun 22, 2018:
more context would help Does Pete "have the holler trail" because he was assigned to watch over the activities on the trail in the holler? Maybe he was very nervous about what might happen and his responsibility, and that's why he was throwing up. This is just one interpretation, if that's the context. Or maybe he had motion sickness (a rough road)?

What is the setting for the story?

Por ejemplo, en tanto que traducción de sentido,

resaca / cruda

Sin más contexto, me da la impresión de que se refiere a una resaca etílica, o a una causada por alguna droga o drogas...

Es un tanto aventurado, pero es lo único que se me ocurre que puede tener sentido en el contexto...
