Is this an idiom or part of it and what's it mean?  This may shock you, but I can still drive a car. Madhulk Joined on Mon, Dec 17 2007 Bulgaria Senior Member 3,177 THE MAN OF STEEL Idioms

When you are throwing up and you have long hair,  you need to pull your hair back away from your head so you don't... well, you can form your own picture. At times, someone will be so drunk that she will require someone else to hold her hair while she vomits. (That person is obviously a very good friend.) I suppose you don't have to be drunk - you could be very sick from food poisoning or something else. So apparently last night, Clark, being the good friend that he is, held her hair while she "worshipped the porcelain god" (threw up in the toilet). As for the rest, if you "hold someone's hand" you are giving them a lot of guidance and support. She wants to be independent again. She really sounds like a - well, I shoudn't type that word here. Is she always that nasty to Clark?  Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,655 Barbara, who answers in American English.

Think of her as the "head cheerleader" and Clark as the captain of the chess team... Vorpar Joined on Tue, Sep 20 2005 Santa Barbara, CA Regular Member 940
