hanging the pot on

Stalling for time to get away with something. Seems to be common in SE England but no mention of origin anywhere online. Please post up if you know!

Little Susan was keeping very quiet reading, which she never did. "Come on", said her father, "its bedtime - you're hanging the pot on."

Hang-a-rang

A hangover that seems to subside but then returns with a vengeance. Much like a boomerang

Woke up hungover,

Had a nap
Went for food - felt better.
Had another nap since I had food coma
Woke up with the spins.

Is there such a thing as a hang-a-rang? Because I think I got it.

Hey Hanging

An annoying, extremely irritating communication, usually performed at work, where a coworker will reach out to you, usually on an instant messaging platform or text message with just the word “hey” or “hi.” The offender will not say anything more until you respond, then either they will get to the point or will engage in meaningless chatting while you are attempting to complete another task. The painful part of this communication is that it will raise your anxiety level, especially if it is from your boss on a Friday, especially on a Friday morning, (can you jump on Zoom for a second? Aka layoff), or on a Friday night, (I have a fire drill that needs your attention ASAP, it might be an all nighter). The Hey hanging provokes the worst case scenarios, fear, and even paranoia when the victim is trying to figure out what is coming next.

I just got a ping on Teams from this project manager who I haven’t spoken to in months. The ping just said “hey,” now I am racing through my mind like crazy. What did I miss? What does he want? Is this person going to saddle me with something that will ruin my day? Get to the point and stop hey hanging me!

Hang the lizard

Refers to the act of giving up, or throwing in the towel. This phrase is typically used when responding to social invitations.

Man 1: "Hey man, do you want to study tonight at the library"
Man 2: "Nah, I've studied all day, I think I'm just going to hang the lizard on this one"
