Right? Surely it’s hung not hanged.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Nope, it's hanged. Specifically, hanged means being suspended with the bottom being free. Hung is more like a hung jury, a well hung man, or being hung up on something. It sounds wrong, but hanged is right.

to be hanged is when someone is hung from the neck until dead. one of english's weirdest verb conjugations.
