A judicial sentence might read that one is to be hung until “dead, dead, dead”. That’s all I got.
Comment on Meaning of the phrase “Hang dead.”?
voytek709@lemmy.ca 1 day agoIn 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.
