Holden Caufield 

A literal reference to the protagonist from the classic American novel, Catcher in the Rye, by JD Salinger, it can be used at parties and social gatherings to inconspicuously ask if anyone has marijuana to sell or share.

Dude 1: "Hey man, did you invite Holden Caufield to the party?"

Dude 2: "Yeah, you trying to smoke a bowl?"

Holden Caulfield 

The most real literary character I've read from the novel The Catcher in the Rye. JD Salinger, the author of Catcher himself, often referred to Holden as a real person, saying things like, "No, Holden wouldn't like that."

Depressed throughout the novel, he takes jabs at the injustices around him, calling many people and things "phony," and while usually true, stating this only made him more depressed.

People he liked included his dead brother Allie, his kid sister Phoebe, and Mr. Antolini, a teacher at a former school of his who cleaned up the dead body of Kevin Castle after he killed himself by jumping from a dorm window.

Some quotes of Holden Caulfield:
"Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell."

"High school's full of phonies, and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to be able to buy a goddam Cadillac some day, and you have to keep making believe you give a damn if the football team loses, and all you do is talk about girls and liquor and sex all day, and everybody sticks together in these dirty little goddam cliques."

"Sex is something I just don't understand. I swear to God I don't."

Holden Caulfield 

to 'pull a Holden Caulfield' is to go on a trip with no real aim in mind; a day trip (or night trip) that is completely reliant on one's stream of consciousness; based on Holden Caulfield's random journey through New York from J. D. Salinger's novel, "The Catcher in the Rye."

We had no idea what we wanted to do or where we wanted to go, so we pulled a Holden Caulfield and rambled around for a while.

Holden Caulfield by Atroxodisse August 5, 2004

holden caulfield 

Protagonist of the best book ever written for teenagers, The Catcher In The Rye. Holden is depressive, narcissistic and self obsessed yet he is strangely sexy and overwhelmingly likeable. Just ask any teenage girl (or boy, if you swing that way): Holden is the sexiest literary character ever.
Yes, even more so than Sirius Black.
Holden refers to everybody as a phoney, hates his private school friends, hates himself and hates just about everything else.

"Damn, I would so spoon Holden Caulfield!"
"If Holden Caulfield were alive today, there is a 98.9% chance that he would be emo...and sexy"

Holden Caufeild 

The main character in the best book to ever be written, Catcher in the Rye. He is spunky, super self-centered, overall a jerk, but he is lowkey loveable and I can kinda relate to him. I wouldn't be surprised if he was secretly everyone's comfort character after reading the book. I wanna be best friends with him.

"Dude, you remind me of Holden Caufeild. Lets be friends."
