To be in a stand your ground state

Does this phrase make sense:


"to be in a stand your ground state"


And if so, what does it mean?

  

Top answer

to stand your ground means to not retreat, It's literally a military term, but it is often used figuratively, eg in politics, where a politician is attacked verbally for refusing to change an unpopular opinion. But "to be in a stand your ground state " is not a common thing to say. I'd say eg He is standing his ground .
