hang

   1.  [very  common]  To  wait for an event that will never occur. "The
   system  is hanging because it can't read from the crashed drive". See
   {wedged}, {hung}.

   2.  To  wait  for some event to occur; to hang around until something
   happens. "The program displays a menu and then hangs until you type a
   character." Compare {block}.

   3.  To  attach  a  peripheral  device, esp. in the construction `hang
   off':  "We're  going to hang another tape drive off the file server."
   Implies  a device attached with cables, rather than something that is
   strictly inside the machine's chassis.
