001) I think it means "no longer being friendly". Other teachers, any comments?02br
02br
002) Yes, it more or less asks someone to wait.02br
02br
003) I don't think hold on means "relax". As I remember, it usually means "wait" or "grab something tightly and not letting go".02br

0I think if someone's ******** or nagging at you, you can say :"are you finished?" meaning "are you done with all this ********/nagging/lecturing?" It's a way to say you've heard enough and he/she should stop. 02br
