hanger

When there is no difference between a hanger light and a hanging light in the acquisition of complex names for things.

There was a small collection of hangers-on.

Their brief has since been extended to assess the main cables, hangers, anchorages and saddles.

The work consists of coat hanger recycling, paper hat manufacture for the catering industry, welding, painting model soldiers and folding and enveloping charity bags.

There are those who write off many of our mayors as simply coat hangers for the regalia of office.

A third contract for the supply of new hangers for the suspension bridge is in progress.

Other main components such as the towers, saddles and hangers are grossly overstressed.

The replacement of the hangers and the strengthening of the splay saddles is estimated to cost approximately £185,000 in the current financial year.

The bridge would be at risk during possible present-day traffic jams owing to the low strength of the towers, hangers and their connections.

I think the "hangers" then had the worst of the argument but the best of the voting.

I propose to provide additional changing space; to increase four-fold the amount of hanger accommodation and generally to improve the layout.

They are going to want 20 years; and the hangers, if there are any, are going to want one year.

Basically, these include the choice of the hanger system, any change in the deck strengthening and the use of particular surface materials.

That applies to the hangers and to the suspension cable.

It is unfortunate that it has become something of a phrase that is, in a way, the monopoly of the hanger and the flogger.
