Name given to people from the town of Hartlepool in the North East of England. The reason being during the Napoleonic Wars (around the 1800s) a monkey washed up on the beach at Hartlepool. The unfortunate primate was tried and executed because the locals thought it was French. This is referred to with some misplaced pride now as the town's football club's mascot is called H'Angus the Monkey.
"Hey, did you hear those Monkey Hangers elected their football mascot as their mayor?"
"Well, that's what happens when you live on the wrong side of the Pennines."

A person coming from Hartlepool or supporting the football club Hartlepool United (the greatest football team in the world) This refers to an incident during the Napoleonic wars when a French ship sank off the Hartlepudlian coast. The only suvivor was the ships monkey which was assumed to be French ashe (or she was talking gibberish) , tried for treason against the British crown and promptly hanged. So there Still it's better than being a fookin' Darlo fan (up yer ass George)
Monkey hangers are the greatest people in the world unlike Mackems and Darlo fans both of whom smell since they don't wash

A hard sexual position to pull off, it requires three people, one holding on to something suspending all 3 people in midair, while the other 2 do a 69 while holding onto the hangers ankles. While doing the 69 one of the hanging partners reaches up and fingers or jerks off the person supporting everyone else.
Man 1, "Hey, I heard you tried the monkey's hanger last night with Jim and Jill."
Man 2, "Yea man! It was awesome, my arms are really sore though."
