Robbery
Robbery is the crime of taking or attempting to take anything of value by force or threat of force or by putting the victim in fear.
At common law, robbery is defined as taking the property of another, with the intent to permanently deprive the person of that property, by means of force or fear. Precise definitions of the offence may vary between jurisdictions. Robbery is differentiated from other forms of theft (such as burglary, shoplifting or car theft) by its inherently violent nature (a violent crime); whereas many lesser forms of theft are punished as misdemeanors, robbery is always a felony in jurisdictions that distinguish between the two. Under English law, most forms of theft are triable either way, whereas robbery is triable only on indictment. The word "rob" came via French from Late Latin words (e.g. deraubare) of Germanic origin, from Common Germanic raub -- "theft".
Among the types of robbery are armed robbery involving use of a weapon and aggravated robbery involving use of a deadly weapon or something that appears to be a deadly weapon. Highway robbery or "mugging" takes place outside or in a public place such as a sidewalk, street, or parking lot. Carjacking is the act of stealing a car from a victim by force. Extortion is the threat to do something illegal, or the offer to not do something illegal, in the event that goods are not given, primarily using words instead of actions.
Hold up (bridge)
In the card game of contract bridge, to hold up means to play low to a trick led by the opponents, losing it intentionally in order to sever their communication. The primary purpose is to give as many tricks to opponents as needed to exhaust all the cards in the suit from one of their hands. If that hand regains the lead, it will not be able to put the partner on lead to cash its tricks. Hold up is one of basic techniques in play.
While mechanically identical, a hold up is in a suit played by the opponents while a duck (or ducking) is a manoeuver in one's own suit. Nevertheless the terms are used interchangeably with duck or ducking more common.
Examples
Denying an entry (declarer play)
West leads the top of a doubleton against a suit contract, and East plays the queen. Suppose South wins the first trick with the ace and West gets in before trumps are drawn (with the ace of trumps, for example). Now West can lead his remaining card in the suit to East's king, and East can return the suit for West to ruff.

A Holdup is a form of robbery.

by: HoldupI am more then just a guy with a short attention span
Who can write your favorite love song just as good as Marvin can
But I don't claim to sing it with the talent of that man
I should know how good he is because I am his biggest fan
There's more to me then jokes and witty lines that I deliver
It's obsessive behavior that you people do not consider
The lights go out at night it's not the cold that makes me shiver
It's the stress of trying to sleep when I got issues that are bigger
Cause lately I've been thinking about the girl that I am losing
And I'm concerned about the number of albums that we've been moving
Excuse me that when I'm not taking pills I switch to boozing
Cause this Vicodin is weak no matter how much I'm consuming
My cell phone bill is due but I don't got the cash to pay it
Wanna tell my girl I love her but don't got the time to say it
I can't believe in god so I don't got the right to praying
Just another night alone in this bed I've got to lay in
So important that we get this in motion
I don't think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through
It's so true
Just ambitious don't mean to insult you
I got big dreams for big things
So Ima stay right here in the big leagues
I still wonder when you'll understand
This life in music business got a hold on me
But the lack of friends I have is growing old on me
Ever since they all went cold on me.
I am losing everyone and my old homies,
Kinda getting lonely with the life I'm leading
I am now realizin that there's just no pleasing,
Everyone you love and they all got reasons
Say that they're upset cause your gone all season.
I miss those days, sit and get wasted with your best friend, drinking wine
I know it tasted like 2 dollar piss
But you don't care it's all good cause your friends all there
But you gotta grow up and move on some day
Find a good job and make money some way
But the one night show seems so far away,
I guess I'll still see you 'round the shows I play
So important that we get this in motion
I don't think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through
It's so true
Just ambitious don't mean to insult you
I got big dreams for big things
So Ima stay right here in the big leagues
I still wonder when you'll understand
I put it on my life that one day I'll be good
I'll be driving in the Lexus cruising threw my old hood
On my way to pick you up I'ma fly you out to shows
You can bring all the girls Ima bring all the bros
It's every boys dream to buy their mom a home
I'm sure that she'll be shocked at the money I have blown
So go and tell your friends about the places you have gone
All the new clothes you own eah I swear I put that on
I haven't been around but I swear it gets better
When we make it to the top Ima get us all together
We can party, dance on the beach wind blowing
Sip on your drinks 'til your smiles are showing
Swear to you I haven't been this happy in a while
And It feels good just to say it yeah it's good to see you smile
Be patient baby all of our dreams are coming true
And I promise when we make it that I'm coming back for you
So important that we get this in motion
I don't think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through
It's so true
Just ambitious don't mean to insult you
I got big dreams for big things
So Ima stay right here in the big leagues
I still wonder when you'll understand
So important that we get this in motion
I don't think you understand all the pain and emotion we go through
It's so true
Just ambitious don't mean to insult you
I got big dreams for big things
So Ima stay right here in the big leagues
