It's HOLD THE FORT, not HOLD DOWN THE FORT!
What the fuck is "hold down the fort" supposed to mean? It'll fly away if one of us isn't holding it down? "Hold the fort" makes perfect sense, we're defending the fort together and and the speaker can't do it for while so we have to step in and HOLD THE FORT!
Seriously, what the fuck are they even thinking when they say this, or worse, write it down? It's the same with "couldn't care less" and "could care less", do they even proof-read their own work?

Do you really think this shit post is good enough for more than one site?

Shit, they tracked me down

These phrases are a diamond dozen, just move on.

...

op is an idiom

>What the fuck is "hold down the fort" supposed to mean? It'll fly away if one of us isn't holding it down?
What the fuck is "hold the fort" supposed to mean? You will lose it from your grip if you don't hold it with your hands?

>wah wah i'm an autistic grammar nazi snowflake, notice me
Wow, you need special needs user.

Hold the fort as in keep it, from enemies. You know, just like they say "we have to hold the castle" when some army is invading.
You and I are in the fort. Some enemy forces want to take the fort. We have to hold the fort so they don't succeed. But I (the speaker) can't do it for some time, so you will have to hold the fort.

You have to hold DOWN the fort so it doesn't get blown UP, you mexican

Fuck off David.

Can we just gas the fucking Evatards already? Holy shit.

It's a doggy dog world out there, stop acting like a pre Madonna.

This. The Eva fanbase is as bad as Nasuverse fans.

>grammar nazi snowflake
It's called attention to detail.

There is nothing wrong with Nasuverse fans as long as they pretend the new stuff doesn't exist

FTFY

That's incorrect. You idiots were the original Narutards before even they started to be tolerated here.

Autism.

No, that doesn't make sense.
FOR FUCK'S SAKE, TO HOLD THE FORD MEANS TO HAVE THE FORT UNDER CONTROL, YOU'D KNOW THIS IS WE WERE STILL IN MEDIEVAL TIMES

>TO HOLD THE FORD MEANS TO HAVE THE FORT UNDER CONTROL
But that's exactly what "holding down the fort" means

>medieval times
>language must remain exactly the same

wtf I'm laughing too hard

Y'all should of paid more attention at the english class desu

Changing the meaning in a retarded way is bad user. Also, when was the last time you heard someone say "hold down the fort" in the context of a literal fort?

No one changed the meaning, you retard. Idioms change. Language changes. Are you going to talk about how "holding a job down" doesn't make sense either? How autistic do you have to be to interpret "holding down the fort" literally?

>Also, when was the last time you heard someone say "hold down the fort" in the context of a literal fort?
I've never heard anyone say "hold the fort" either

>diamond dozen
>doggy dog world
>could care less

americans need to be gassed desu

>I've never heard anyone say "hold the fort" either
Clearly you don't watch films or play video games with forts involved. That makes me the expert. It's "hold the fort" and "hold down the fort" is retarded.

Clearly some of us are right, so we didn't ALL need to pay attention.

>Clearly you don't watch films or play video games with forts involved

Idioms don't have to be tied down to what inspired them. "hold the fort" is retarded, simply because "hold down the fort" is in common usage

Where the fuck are you from, OP? This is an American website. In America, we say "hold down the fort", not "hold the fort".

>"hold the fort" is retarded, simply because "hold down the fort" is in common usage
