* hold down: to consume without vomiting
ex> Tracy struggled to hold down her lunch once the boat began to sway.
ex> I couldn’t even hold down two beer when I was young.
For em, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give in to peer pressure - to try to be something that you’re not; to live your life as an honest and compassionate person, to contribute in some way.
* give in: to yield; stop resisting; succumb
ex> I wasn’t going to have dessert, but the menu made me give in.
* peer pressure: influence from one’s friends and colleagues
ex> My teenage clothing choices were dictated by peer pressure.
* true to oneself: following one’s principles, ideals, and goals
ex> It became easier to stay true to myself when I met my wife.
* by all means: definitely; certainly
ex> If you need a ride, by all means just ask.
Don’t give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass.
* come back and bite one: to have later consequences
ex> Double-check the installation, or it will come back and bite you.
Note> Other variations of this expression is “come back and bite you in the arse/ass/butt.”
