Geezer here trying to figure out the lingo
In the case of "Hold the W"
Does it mean hold off on it because you haven't won? Or hold on to it for now because you'll quickly lose it? Or is it a congratulations type phrase?

It's basically the same as saying "Have the W or L".

W is congratulatory
L is inflammatory

Don't know. This new slang changes daily.
Just figured out what fleek means.
I started to use thot a few months too late.

I'm aware of what W and L mean, lol.
I'm just trying to figure out if hold the W has negative connotations like "Hold the W for now...." type idea like you've won this time or positive like "you did good, have the W" because I've seen it both ways.

Dunno, but morons like that Droid bozo have a tendency just to say 'hold the L' and think this some kind of insult or worthwhile substitute for an actual argument. In fact, there's a class of posters on here who's entire posting repertoire consists of repeating those kind of catchphrase-like insults and thinking this makes them funny and/or innovative (even though they're all just copying one another).
the lowest-IQ posters usually respond with: "rent-free", "hold this L", or the garnett gif.
if this is all you have, bring your game up.

I think it's a mixture of hold this and... take the L. Like hold my beer except its an L.
Not an L L but a loss. Could think of it as a metaphorical dunce cap.
