When someone gives you a shred of hope when in actuality there is none i.e. when the band-aid is dangling on the last, most painful hair and needs to be ripped off. Can be used as a noun or adjective.
She's band-dangling the shit out of me. I wish the band-dangler would just rip it off and get it over with.
