hang out

According to Aileen Ward's biography of John Keats (English poet (1795-1821), who took an interest in English slang of the day, "hanging out" connoted "stopping at a tavern," i.e. spending time drinking, which fully comports with the modern sense of the slang expression. This indicates that the phrase was current in London in 1816 at the latest!

"Hey, Keats, man: Byron and some of the other poetic dudes are planning to hang out at Jack Straws before we go to sup. Like to join us?"

hang out

a phrase that, during the nationwide quarantine of 2020, lost all meaning. it previously described a group of friends gathered together in physical space to enjoy pass time enjoyably. since that's basically illegal these days, it now refers to the act of killing time and boredom with another person via the internet.

Let's hang out tonight. Since we can't meet in person, maybe we could get together on Zoom and debate inane nonsense.
