• What's the meaning of the phrase 'Bated breath'? Breathing that is subdued because of some emotion or difficulty. 'Waiting with bated breath' is holding your breath in anticipation.
  

Thanks! I had always heard the phrase, but I never really knew what it meant.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
