Hold the Line 

1) A temporary state of being that recommends that the appropriate position is to remain steady and not react whatsoever.

2) A phrase to be utilized when you have something else on your mind and you're not paying attention when someone asks you a question and/or is talking about their own issues.

3) A nonsensical euphemism to belt out whenever one feels the need to just be agreeable.
I called my good buddy in a panic and needed some help. He was drinking and told me to "Hold the Line"

A guy pulled in on his Vespa, took off his helmet and simply said "Hold the Line"

Guy 1: I think I'm gonna call her. I know it's only been just one day, but I think I'm gonna call her.

Guy 2: Buddy, Hold the line

fuck, fight, or hold the light

A better way to ask, "fish or cut bait" or "piss or get off the pot"; in other words, to tell someone to be decisive in making a decision.

Literally it probably refers to a situation where you're competing for a woman with another guy.

In other words: "Are you going to fuck her(ie. win), fight him(ie. TRY to win), or hold a light up for his convenience while he fucks her?(ie. be a total loser)"

Sort of a takeoff on the whole "fight or flee" natural evolutionary response.
John: Yo, Ron, it's your turn to bet!
Ron: I'm thinking
Ray: Enough thinking, already! Look - either fuck, fight, or hold the light!

Fuck fight or hold the light.

A phrase that is usually used to motivate an individual, or group of people.
1. Jim was caught slacking off at his construction job, so his boss yelled "fuck fight or hold the light."

2. Tommy could only slam half of his beer so jim said "fuck fight or hold the light buddy."

fuck, fight, or hold the light

In more tribal times, one tribe would attack another just before dawn, when it is darkest (thus the true mean of its always darkest before the dawn). Rape was one of the traditional spoils of war, so members of the invading force would either rape the women of the opposing tribe, fight the opposing tribes soldiers, or hold the light so other soldiers could see who they were attacking and raping.
Hey Ivan, don't just stand there like an idiot, these Nazis bitches aren't going to rape themselves: fuck, fight, or hold the light.
