[Slang] [1913 Webster] Note: Have, as an auxiliary verb, is used with the past participle to form preterit tenses; as, I have loved; I shall have eaten. Originally it was used only with the participle of transitive verbs, and denoted the possession of the object in the state indicated by the participle; as, I have conquered him, I have or hold him in a conquered state; but it has long since lost this independent significance, and is used with the participles both of transitive and intransitive verbs as a device for expressing past time. Had is used, especially in poetry, for would have or should have. [1913 Webster] Myself for such a face had boldly died. --Tennyson. [1913 Webster] To have a care, to take care; to be on one's guard. To have (a man) out, to engage (one) in a duel. To have done (with). See under Do, v. i. To have it out, to speak freely; to bring an affair to a conclusion. To have on, to wear. To have to do with.
