"Holler nuff" in Tom Sawyer means "to give up or admit defeat." It is a colloquial way of saying that one has had enough or cannot handle something anymore. Tom uses this phrase when trying to get others to give up in a game or challenge.

"Nuff" is short for "enough". Holler means to shout. To "holler nuff" is to shout enough, to say "pax", to yield, to surrender. He means that if his opponent surrenders, then they can be friends.
