word has it

Not anymore idiomatic because it uses sense 7 of word, which is, at time of posting, "News; tidings (used without an article)." PseudoSkull (talk) 22:30, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Leaning keep as sufficiently a set phrase + hard to understand from parts. Mihia (talk) 22:28, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Keep - it's an odd and somewhat archaic construction. Were it constructed according to word then I would unequivocally say SOP, but the postpositioned has it makes this phrase difficult for anyone not familiar with it to make out (i.e. "News/Tidings has it" - what ???).

• Note: I think the more common construction by far is word is. bd2412 T 02:02, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
