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?

    The two words by themselves are not very good English, or any slang idiom I know about.

    I agree this sounds threatening, however.

    I wonder if one of you is switching the words around from dead hang?

    A dead hang is when you hold yourself from a chinup bar.
