Holding it down

1) Maintaining a steady job in an industry in which that person is not the "norm"

2) Performing in an area in which that person is essentially not accepted, but managing to perform the task at hand anyway (without missing a beat despite the hate).

3) Being present in a place which is deemed basically as hostile, so that others who look different (or are different) can also potentially gain access to that field (albeit always in limited numbers).

Holding it on a string

When you need a shit, but don't go to the toilet straight away - instead you hold it in until when you do finally go to the toilet it comes out instantly with little to no effort.
