In the intervening time I have married and my new wife (of 3 months now) has a lot of questions about everyday phrases she's never heard, or is just curious about specific ones. Thinking immediately of AWAD, I have returned *waves to everyone looking, and most of those who aren't*. Bringing me to the subject at hand... does anyone know the origin of the phrase "hold the phone"?
