Every time I hear someone say ‘eh’ in a questioning tone or to mean ‘um actually’ I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.
Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.
Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.
How about all y’all?
I don’t know, but that’s what I think off when someone says “hold down the fort”.
And if the expression was “hold down the bouncy castle” that would make a lot more sense. Not as an expression … but on a windy day at least.
ngl this conversation got me kinda randy
I bet it comes from people also hearing “batten down the hatches” which makes a little more sense.
