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.

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.

Hania

One of the best people you'll ever meet. Hanias are the kindest most affectionate people out there. They'll do anything to make sure you're happy and tend to be very sacrificial in any relationships but they crave love and affection. Hania can seduce you within seconds even by only looking at you. She has the most beautiful smile ever but hides it. She will do this thing thats just ADORABLE where her little smirk turns into a beaming smile. Shes the STRONGEST and most willpowered person you'll meet. She never gives up, and she's clearly not being herself if she has. A very loud extrovert and entertainer. Falls in love VERY easily but shes got her tactics. Flirt with everyone so the person you like wont see you act differently around them. (It either goes amazing or horrible no imbetween) just a pure definition of a leo...

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.
