intellectual hostage

Someone who changes their opinion on a given subject because they have been verbally bullied into it by others, as in a social media post. They don't really believe this view as true but say they do out of fear of being ostracized by others in the community.

She humiliated the man on a social media post until he agreed with her viewpoint on the subject and became her intellectual hostage.

Have a bowel movement; dropping the kids off at the pool; taking a shit.

yuuper2: It helps clean me out and release a hostage every day.

Hold Hostage

When you’re waiting on hold for someone and know that the second you answer another call or check another line they’ll answer and hang up when you don’t answer right away.

I’ve been a hold hostage for 8 minutes now. I know that if that whore in accounts receivable picks up when I try and answer this other line she’ll disconnect.
