Hab mal wieder ne kleine Umfrage. Kennt und nutzt ihr den Begriff 'hulen' (huulen)? Wenn ja, was (genau) bedeutet es bei euch und wo im Land nutzt ihr es?

When I was 14 and starting high school, my dad told me that no matter what stupid shit I did, if I ever called him at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, in a bind, and needed him to come pick me up, that i shouldn't hesitate to call—because, he promised me, we wouldn't talk about it that night. We would eventually talk about it and deal with it—maybe even the next day—but he wanted to remove all fear in me of calling and asking for help, in the moment. It was a "no questions asked, I just want you to get home safe" policy. I took him up on it one night, and he was true to his word. I've never forgotten it, and I've never forgotten what would have happened to me if I hadn't trusted in it. Sometimes, when I visit him in the Alzheimer's wing of the Veterans home, I look into his face and see that he trusts in my promise to him, too.
