Despite English being my native language, I grew up speaking Spanish and my English isn’t that good. I constantly forget the meanings of phrases or don’t understand them.
I have a sister named Lena (14F). Her on-again, off-again “friend” Ashlyn(14F) received a note on her locker reading “HANG DEAD” and showed people, including Lena. Is this a threat to hang herself or something?
In this context, do you think it means “I will kill you by hanging”? How would you use “hang dead” in a sentence?
“We’re gonna catch that dirty, rotten, cattle-thieving S.O.B. and he’ll hang dead for what he done!”
thanks!! if used with just “hang dead”, is it telling someone to hang dead??
If English isn’t the primary language of the person who wrote it, they could have meant “kill yourself.” But I can only guess what their intentions were.
I’d say this too
A judicial sentence might read that one is to be hung until “dead, dead, dead”. That’s all I got.
