From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
hang v. 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.

hing // n. [IRC] Fortuitous typo for `hint', now in wide intentional use among players of {initgame}. Compare {newsfroup}, {filk}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
hung adj. [from `hung up'; common] Equivalent to {wedged}, but more common at Unix/C sites. Not generally used of people. Syn. with {locked up}, {wedged}; compare {hosed}. See also {hang}. A hung state is distinguished from {crash}ed or {down}, where the program or system is also unusable but because it is not running rather than because it is waiting for something. However, the recovery from both situations is often the same. It is also distinguished from the similar but more drastic state {wedged} - hung software can be woken up with easy things like interrupt keys, but wedged will need a kill -9 or even reboot.
