here hold this

phrase that signifies someone is about to *metaphorically* either get knifed, handed a bomb or be completely anhialated or blown away in some competitive sport, game, duel or race. Not typically delivered in a friendly way or said in jest, more threatening and menacing like, hold on to this fucker or, watch this while I go deal with this fucker. If Jack Reacher asks you to hold his toddler for example. Now you know things are not good for someone

hold fast

To bear down, grit it out, stay the course

Originally a nautical term probably borrowed from Danish, NOT Dutch, "hold fast" (hold tight) referring to the importance of securely gripping a ship's rigging.

Times are tough right now but we got to hold fast and ride it out.

holding the cards

Being in a public restroom, needing to poop, but afraid you will make a very loud sound if you let go. You try to wait till everyone else leaves.

I tried holding the cards till my boss left
