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.

park hangs

Older mother attempting to make her mundane activities of day to day life (ie going to the park), seem hip and relavent.

Hey Deborah, hopping in the mini van to take the kids for some park hangs.

hanging the elephant

The act of punishing an animal, child or employee for actions brought about by poor training, poor parenting or poor supervision when there is no retribution for the trainer, parent or supervisor who caused the issue in the first place. The phrase is derived from the hanging of Mary the elephant in Erwin, TN in 1916.

Writing Johnny up for an attitude problem they've ignored for 10 years is like hanging the elephant.

Hang It Up

When one is being told to “hang it up” that means that you need to let it go, or move on. Also can be used in reference to one being lame and out of touch with something.

“Hang It Up” also similarly refers to retirement.

Made popular in Nicki Minaj’s 2010 song ‘Roman’s Revenge’ ft. Eminem which was a diss to Lil’ Kim.

One hit wonder Silento still thinks he’s trending in 2020 with his Whip/Nae Nae crap from 2015? I think it’s fine for him to hang it up.

hulu and hang

The ghetto version of "Netflix and chill." As in, when two people get together to fuck under the guise of watching a movie, however, neither is a subscriber to Netflix but rather to its less popular wannabe counterpart, Hulu.

Fuckboy: wanna come over;))
Girl: what would we do?
Fuckboy: idk, we could just Hulu and hang;)
Girl:

Fuckboy:

Girl:

Fuckboy: .. u still there?

Hanging BJ

holding on to handlebars above your head (preferably hanging up high enough where the girl can stand up) while receiving felatio. It is best to have the handlebars at a height where she is EITHER standing or kneeling. If the height is wrong then the girl will have to uncomfortably crouch and in turn depreciate the value and time of the said "Head".

I reluctantly received a Hanging BJ after a long day of tennis.
