Holding Your Own Edit Meaning

1.

See also: Hold my own. Most say it started out as meaning to stand your ground, to not let life, or anyone else for that matter, push you around. This is generally regarded to be the most likely, but more dull definition. But others have come to believe it means simply to cup your genitalia in your hand. This, frankly is wrong, but still mildly humourous.

"Holding your own is tough in court thesedays."

"He is managing to hold his own on the pitch."

"She is holding her own in this debate, don't you think?"

See hold, holding, my, your, own
