makin' 'em hang

An expression of annoyance or impatience with another person's drama or exaggeration, as in "Quit makin' 'em hang."

Literally refers to low-hanging testicles, although why testicular heft has anything to do with another person's behavior remains uncertain.

Originated among working-class Italian immigrant culture.
