hanging low

Dangling near ground

Hanging low describes something suspended at a low level or dangling loosely.

Fruit hangs low on a branch; fog hangs low over a valley.

The phrase often appears in questions about mood or energy: How are you hanging?

Hanging low suggests feeling subdued or relaxed.

In vulgar slang, it refers to male genitals, as in the children's song about ears.
