Hooking Up 

Casual sexual activity. Sex while not in a relationship with eachother. Similar to a "one-night stand," but it can happen repetedly. As long as the two people are not serious about eachother, and they have sex, it's hooking up.
Me and John hooked-up last night.

Did you and Mary hook-up at the party?

We aren't going out or anything-- we just hook-up from time to time.

How long have they been hooking up?

left holding

like "left hanging" when your hi five isnt returned, left holding is that awkward moment when you hold the door for someone and they dont walk through. this can be embarassing

also, you are said to be left holding when you hold the door open for one person, and 324234 more people walk through back to back, wheras if you let go, your a douchebag.
i was left holding at the mall when the girl behind me stopped to tie her shoe. total waste of my time

i was leaving the library with julie but i was left holding when a school of kids decided to walk through. when i finally left to catch up she had already driven home. bummer

holding the bag 

A person who is said to be "holding the bag" is the person the blame is lumped on for doing something usually a group of people partook in. The person who is left holding the bag is generally the scapegoat.

The term "holding the bag" is not used as widely as it was 20 years ago.
Some kids are stealing candy from the grocery store and are stuffing it in a backpack. As the manager comes each kid furiously tries to hand the backpack to one another so they are not the one caught with the evidence. The kid who ends up with the backpack while the other kids scamper has been left holding the bag. (literally! and I suspect this type of scenario is where the term was derived from originally)

bank holding company 

(FINANCE) a company that exists for the sole purpose of owning a controlling interest in the several branches of a bank.

Owing to the interplay of US federal and state banking laws, it is often necessary for a bank to incorporate itself as a separate and distinct company in different states, or for different business functions (e.g., capital management, underwriting/investment banking, savings banking, etc.).

One of the exasperating benefits that bank holding companies get is a further limitation of liability. Often, the structure of the bank holding company is such that one of the firms owned (like Washington Mutual Bank, Inc.) can be insolvent, without resulting in the liquidation of the holding company.
Practically every financial intermediary in the USA is now owned by a bank holding company. They're totally insidious!

holding hands with sausage
