'Hold Short' is a completely pointless clearance, being as it is, tautology.

You are not going hold on the runway (at least not without prior clearance to enter the runway), ergo you must be holding short of the runway when you are holding.

This sort of excess verbiage so beloved of non professional civies (and student aircrew) is exactly the sort of rubbish that blocks up busy frequencies.
