Also, what's up with someone asking you to hold down the fort. Is it going to fly away?

hold the fort (British, American & Australian) also hold down the fort (American)
to be left in charge of a situation or place while someone is away
Someone had to stay at home and hold the fort while my mother was out.
Cambridge Idioms Dictionary, 2nd ed.
Seems to be an American variation of the shorter phrase "hold the fort"
