"Horses are hung. Men are hanged."

Huh, I learned it about clothes and men. I like yours better.

I don't know what that is, nor why it chose to collapse on Betelgeuse VII.

The past tense of hang in almost all situations is hung. You hung a picture on the wall yesterday, or you hung out at the mall last week. Only use hanged when referring to someone who has been killed by hanging.

Did you downvote me for posting a joke?

It seems like grammar pedantry knows no bounds. I updooted in retaliation. All things must be balanced.

I'm hung like shopping mall Christmas lights on the 1st of June

Dirty, partly broken, and yet still up somehow?

Inappropriate for the occasion but quite festive

covered in cobwebs, confusing the birds and one flick away from total darkness.

Putting the ‘strange’ in ‘getting some strange.’

The odds are good when the goods are odd

My Junior year of high school, my English teacher was going over some commonly misused words and got on the subject of "hanged" vs. "hung". She said "When a blanket is clipped to a clothesline to dry, it is hung. When I man is executed by noose, he is hanged. Men are hanged. Men are not hung." My classmate raised his hand and... well, Long story short, my classmate got detention.

Hung, witty, at the very least passing knowledge of history. Promising indeed

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

But they said a innocent woman and not an innocent woman, dealbreaker.

Hung like a baby. 10 pounds of danglin' fury.
