Terminal Hold

When you call a business and are placed on hold, with no human contact, for hours on end. The business hoping that you will get frustrated and just give up, so they don't have to talk to you.

Scooter: Geez Mary! You've been on the phone with them forever.
Mary: Yeah, about 5 hours. They put me on Terminal Hold. This is a matter of principle now! I am not hanging up.

hand holding

When you hold someone specials hand and you feel a jolt of electricity go through your hand, then up your arm, then through your whole body. (Like a boyfriend or a girlfriend)

Or it's a form of saying "back off bitch, he's mine" (for a girls aspect) and for a guy it would be "back off you assholes, she's mine. "

"Holding his hand was phenomenal. His warm hand when he joined my cool hand was the best thing I've ever experienced. Hand holding is the best with him."
