Hanging on your every word. But I won't be drawn in this quarter.

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

Sorry, thought you were going on holiday, not being hanged, drawn and quartered!

Perhaps the difference between hanged and hung is one for Wordwind's list of how grammar has changed?

you might as well get hanged for a goat as for a sheep, but don't get hung up on it.

"We must all hang together," he said, "or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." ~ Faldage
A wonderful piece of Franklinesquerie; it shouldn't go unacknowledged!

You can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Dogs, on the other hand…

No one has added
hang over

over hang to the list of hang idioms.
I'll hang tight, hoping you get the hang of it, and add some more that i forgot.

And, the hangovers on staddle stones are to keep the rats from getting to the grain! <grin>

Isn't 'British' redundant in that sentence? <g>

What do you think about hangover? Well, if I had ever had one, Krzysztof, I think I would say that I don't like them.

An Fear Rua understands from some of his legal friends in the Four Courts that Chief Justice Hamilton's sporting proclivities lie more towards the soccer code - God bless the mark! - rather than towards hurling or gaelic football. Perhaps that is a hangover from his days palling around with members of the Labour Party beyond in Rathmines, in Dublin. Recent unfortunate controversies have resulted in the departure from the Supreme Court of Mr Justice Hugh O'Flaherty, a decent Kerryman (if that's not an oxymoron), who regularly follows the fortunes of his native county. So, the GAA has lost, literally, a friend in court.http://www.anfearrua.com/ViewSectionDetail.asp?docid=599
