In this context, do you think it means “I will kill you by hanging”? How would you use “hang dead” in a sentence?

Maybe they misunderstood “hang ten?” Which is a slang term referring to surfing (meaning to stand on the edge of your board and hang your toes off).

“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.

A judicial sentence might read that one is to be hung until “dead, dead, dead”. That’s all I got.
