I’m pretty sure asphyxiation has no part in how a person dies when one hangs themselves. It’s not the lack of breath, it’s the sharp snap of the neck, isn’t it?
I don’t think so, since you can hang around for a while without dying. Also, they usually dangle around like a fish, if one’s neck snapped one couldn’t dangle around like a fish.
I like fishes.
Depends on the length and speed of the drop and the weight of the person if there is a snap. In a passive hanging, without the drop, which is what Caradine did, you either asphyxiate or have a VBA stroke then or up to 24 hours later if the hangee gets loose.
I would have never guessed that it’s so complicated to die by hanging, but I’m glad that’s clarified now.
It’s supposed to break the hyoid bone 😉
why hullo thar
Marty Heidegger grappled with language too 😉
Dangle is not the right word. How about jiggle. Unfortunately, “jiggle” makes me think of obese women so I feel uncomfortable using it.
Ah i see. Maybe the word wriggle, or struggle?
Thank you, those are some good alternatives.
I’ve heard it referred to as Doin’ the ol’ Hempen Jig. I forget what book it was I just read, but there was some hangings, and a number of threatened hangings, and the language was all in the era context. “You’ll dance for this treason…”
I’ma go google some Hangman’s Slang
Quick die pull your pants down and put the rope on.
I dont think fishes is right, either. It’s just fish. And I think flop describes the action of a fish not in water.
Fishes and fish are both correct in the plural form. I happen to like fishes better.
If you pull a small fish out of the water with your hand, it struggles just like a person who hangs themselves and I think any word can be correct to describe either the fish or the person. There is no absolute.
no such word as ‘fishes’ or ‘fishs’ the plural of fish is fish.
Nobody said “fishs.”
I regret to inform you, you’re wrong Tiki.
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fishes
Main Entry: fish
Pronunciation: \ˈfish\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural fish or fish·es
It’s a pretty word, isn’t it? The fact that FireFox doesn’t correct “fishes” should have been a hint already.
Did I mention that TheAmazingAtheist made a video about fish? He points out in it that “fishes” is superior to “fish”, it’s very adorable.
I forgot the link where is my head www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzceVX9o_A8
well sure, it’s as much of a word as “ain’t” or “summptin” or “ya’ll” but you sounds like ignorant trash when you use those words.
Haha what, ok now you’re clearly trolling Tiki.
Slang is not included in an authentic English dictionary, the word “fishes” on the other hand is.
And I don’t think anyone sounds like trash if they use slang, it all depends on context and timing, there are a great many people who managed to sound quite magnificent while using words like “ain’t.”
Anyway, proceed with thy trolling for the truth won’t result in many lulz.
Fishes sounds child-like. Strung by he neck is a nasty way to go, regardless of how quickly one dies from it.
There are many words that sound child-like that doesn’t make them any less valid. You should know that nyokki.
In German we say Fische. I guess the entire German language sounds child-like as well.
I LOVE THE FISHES CAUSE THEY’RE SOOOOOO DELICIOUS!
You only say fishes is there are multiple types of fish being referred to. It’s a school of fish anf they’re all the same then fish is the plural.
Ever heard ‘school of fishes?’. Nope. It’s school of fish for a reason.
I didn’t say it was bad. I said it was child-like. It’s the way children do grammar; they assume the way to form every plural is to add an s, or es, to the word. I’ve been known to say foots/footses, now and then.
That’s only if it’s done correctly. A lot of times there’d be a small mistake somewhere, and if the victim was unlucky, he’d have to hang for a few minutes until he died from lack of oxygen.
(Also, the word I use is writhe.)
Never got people who are into auto-erotic asphyxiation. They want stringing up.
If you hang yourself you die from the disruption in blood flow to your brain.
Your neck only snaps if you drop a significant distance.
Or in some cases the head comes right off as with Black Jack Ketchum who was hung in 1901 with a rope a little too long.
Also if you hang yourself and people don’t find you for a few hours your heads swells up like a watermelon and turns blue. Eventually it will burst and the body will drop down through the noose.
Gross way to go.
I don’t like this.
Fishes is an actual word. It is the plural form of fish when you are refering to more than one species.
That has already been established.
