Hanging
Significado: Suffering from a hangover; feeling terrible after drinking.
To be 'hanging' means you're suffering from a hangover—you feel like death, you're 'hanging' between life and functionality. It's vivid British slang for that morning-after misery. 'Hanging out of your arse' is an intensified, crude version.
