Heard on The Judges: "grudge-hold against"

[Wilson Gray]

Judge Mathis:

"So, besides everything else, you think that [your older brother]
dislikes your wife."

Late thirty-ish, white male speaker:

"Yes, sir. He thinks that she took me away from him at a young age.
He's been _grudge-holding against_ my wife for years!"


-Wilson

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
