Don't hold it against her #2 (permalink) Sun Dec 05, 2004 8:22 am   Don't hold it against her
 

Hold against is a phrasal verb. If you hold something against someone, you allow something that they did in the past to influence you and cause you to deal harshly with them. So, if you don't hold it against her, you don't refer to something negative she did in the past.
