Hang a lantern

To point out some inconsistency in order to allow for its acceptance and to move things along. This is a common plot device in the entertainment industry, in which the entertainers give some sort of wink or nod that allows the entertained to suspend disbelief of some unthinkable feat and carry on with minimal interruption.

Feeling whiney and knowing that he was partaking in the practice of Vaguebooking, Tom was sure to hang a lantern on it by adding a #Vaguebooking hash tag to his post.

goal hanger

A centre forward in the game of football (soccer) who does nothing all game except stand within 6 yards of the goal to score easy goals.

also used a metaphor for someone who doesn't try at anything but gets the results through luck and other people's endeavors.

He is such a goal hanger!

Hangar

A building or structure used for storing aircraft. Often populated by pilots, mechanics, hangar hounds, and similar ilk. It's kind of like a really big garage, but it's more fun to spend time in.

Hangars can be open on one or all sides, fully enclosed, heated or unheated. Some are quite nice with offices inside, some are very plain without even power going to them. The word "Hangar" comes from a French word meaning "shed."

I'm glad I got my plane into the hangar before the hailstorm started.

oriental hang back

The "Oriental Hang Back" to a faux exit from a party or other social event in which the Oriental Hang Backer initially agrees to leave with their friends but subsequently decides to stay without informing their friends. Excuses such as "I'm just going to find the bathroom quickly - I'll meet you guys outside" are often used as an excuse to return to the bar, dance floor or a romantic acquaintance and continue doing what they were doing before they agreed to leave in the first place. Oriental Hang Backing can often be blamed on extreme intoxication, horniness, or FOMO. The term is an antonym to the Irish Exit.

Friend: "Hey man, what happened to you last night? We waited outside for like 20 minutes while you were in the bathroom but the girls got cold so we had to take them home..."
Hang Backer: "Sorry dude. I pulled an oriental hang back and kept trying to make out with some blonde I had just met at the bar..."
Friend: "thanks for the text you fucker... please tell me you were at least successful"
Hang Backer: "Nah, apparently she was a waitress there so her manager kicked me out. I was hammered."
