Still another meaning of the expression is for a story to be considered true after an investigation. The same driver late for work could say, "My boss did not believe a hold up held me up. But the police confirmed what I said so my story held up."还有另一种意思用于一种调查确认后属实的说法。同样开车上班迟到的员工可能说，“我的老板不相信我被一次抢劫给耽搁了，但警方证实了我的说法，所以我的说法经得起考验。”
