Refers to da substitute-for-grumbling-at-a delay vocal action dat you engage in while unexpectedly/unavoidably having to wait for something basic or mundane to occur, such as for equipment to warm up, someone to answer da phone, a web-page to load on an internet-computer, etc. Great for when you're either babysitting children (for whom soft singing is often an effectively-calming/soothing way of "placating them for a few" till a desired action/event can happen) or presently have one or more adult-colleagues there who need certain actions and/or information-locating performed on their behalf, and so you are sympathetically showing them dat you hate having to be held up, as well, just da same as they do.
Everyone loves da catchy "Alex Trebek waiting for da contestants to think of an answer" melody, so performing a round of "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold can work wonders to make everyone feel less grumpy/impatient at having to take a little longer than normal for something they want to happen.

Get the smugglers holdmug. COVID Hold Crisis—where we get to spend countless hours per week on hold, being cut off, being transferred from person to person (most of whom have such a thick foreign accent it is impossible to communicate).

Get the holding up 4’smug. Similar to “I’ll hold my tongue.” But if you are texting you hold your fingers back from saying something you probably shouldn’t.
Person: “I think it’s funny to say I’m dumping my balls.”
Me: “I will hold my fingers so I don’t text something inappropriate.”
