To hold out for someone?
Hello, Can anyone tell me what does "to hold out for someone" mean?
Top answer
"To hold out for something " is more common, but you can hold out for a person as well. For example, you're hiring players for your team before the next season begins. You really want a certain player, but he's negotiating with other teams and doesn't seem interested in yours.

- You have a deadline to meet, so you're faced with a delema: should you sign a player you don't really want, or should you hold out for your man, hoping he may swing your way in time to beat the deadline.
- Your player, in the meantime, may be holding out for more money.
