So I was reading this book and they used the saying (well close anyway) "No Holes Barred", and I am thinking isn't it "No holds barred"? Thought maybe I was wrong for a minute there. What sayings have you or someone else gotten wrong?

    Were you reading a pornographic book? That to me is the only logical explanation of misusing that phrase :wink:

    its means that nothing is against the rules in a wrestling match. or, more generally, that nothing is prohibited.

    Was there an underlying message?... maybe the character felt they were being used like a dirty street walkers holes... *shrug*

    No holes barred sounds a hell of lot more fun than holds

    I was watching an old Ellen stand up routine and she used that saying, I can never quite catch it. How does it really go?
