About This Quote

I had called my friend and asked her to look up the meaning of the following phrase. Her response: "You put me on hold." I wondered if she was right, so I did a quick search and found this: "To put someone on hold is to interrupt them and take their name and number and ask them to call you back." So, it appears that we can put someone on hold in two ways: (1) We can interrupt them mid-conversation and take their name and number; or (2) We can simply "put 'em on hold," which means to stop whatever it is we're doing and wait for them to call us back. Thank you, Google!
