I've seen that video, and I have to say that as funny as it is, it is a stupid fucking video. "Holding the fort" makes no more literal sense than "holding down the fort" does. None. But you all know what it means, so you can stop being pedantic cunts about it. Partly because I've heard the ridiculous rapings that the British like to call "English", but I'm not a big enough douchebag to call you out on them.

It's a perfectly useful military term referring to stayinh where you are, retaining said fort and keeping it safe. Have you never heard the phrase 'Hold your position'? I'll eat my hat if you've ever heard someone say 'Hold down your position'.
