Hello
I wonder what is the meaning of 'hold on fast' in the song of Donna Summer, Could It Be Magic, in the sentence 'Baby I want you now, now, now, and hold on fast'.
Thank you.
@milimi,
"Fast" here means "tightly," or "firmly."

If something is 'stuck fast' it is stuck firmly. To 'hold fast' to something means to stick to it firmly.
@milimi,
I never know that hold on fast is any type of idiom, I have learned one more idiom today. I love
idioms but I was thinking that some other meaning of this phrase.
Stumble It!
