hung low

Dangled near ground

Hung low describes something that hangs or droops to a position near the ground or below typical height: The fog hung low over the valley, Branches hung low with fruit.

The phrase commonly appears as vulgar slang describing male genitalia of notable size, as in the bawdy song "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" often sung with the lyric substituted.
