Re: The word "HANG" time to do away with it?
Hanging goals is obviously different from Mikel hang or Mikel don hang. Hello chiefChief Ogbunigwe wrote:If you like, you can creep out.

For this site to be universal, we need to move from the mindset that it's for Nigerians alone.
Hang, especially when you precedes it with a name, is creepy.
Mikel scores, Mikel don tear net..... We have options for headline. Mikel Hangs - is not cool.
I didn't see you complain when Harry Kane was hanging goals left and right. In fact, you lot took Eriksen's goal and forced Harry Kane to hang it.

Look at this stone for brain Ibadan sewer rat What is culture about using the word "hang"?EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:Here we go again trying to enforce colo grammar patrol on CE to sooth the sensitivity those who are offended because the word has other meanings in London and US.
They're offended because they think the word "hang" suggests the player might be dead because he hung himself or was discovered hanging from a rope. Really? GTFOH! If you cannot respect our culture and language then you've no business on CE, you need to go to the bbc forum or your team's forum where they don't use the word hang.
Respect the fact that we have a colloquial language which will not change because sombody in London doesn't like it. I think the suggestion to stop using the word is offensive, we demand an apology.
Are you OK in the head at all? How many people outside CE do you think use the word "hang" to describe scoring a goal. Mofo

Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

If you don't know how culture impacts language ,perception and context of words then you've no business commenting.

Another thread for those too weak minded to distinguish difference between
a real word and slang. I guess a statement like 'taking a shot' applies only to
pointing a gun.

My neighbours has a dog they called "Toto".
Everytime I hear them calling for the dog,...
"Toto,...where are you? Toto! stop making that racket"
I cringe inside and want to tell them to change their dogs name,...then I remember where I live.
My point is, if we all know the meaning and the context by which a word is used, and it is not meant to cause harm, then its on you to adapt. We as a society cannot force meaning into words when there is none meant.

Tried in vain to popularise ‘beheads’ as a light hearted and arguably more current alternative to hangs. Didn’t make the cut, ironically.

The use of hang, rape, sodomized, and molested just isn't good enough. That is just it.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

I'm probably on the fence with regards to this issue.
I think both sides have merit.
