Where does the term "Hang over" come from?

The term hangover was originally a 19th century expression describing unfinished business—something left over from a meeting—or ‘survival.’ In 1904, the meaning "after-effect of drinking too much" first surfaced

The saying comes from when there was public hangings people got drunk and had picnic's and had a big celebration. The next day people were still drunk and didn't want to go to work, that is why they call it Hangover

It comes from you having to 'hang over' the toilet and be sick the morning after a big night out

no when using the term "come out of the closet" it means that someone is hiding that they are gay. and someone where to say "come out of the closet it means "don't hide that your gay. its nothing to be ashamed of." some people find it offensive but its not really.

I starred your question because I found it interesting. I guess you got some good answers, and sadly I am hung over right now. Going to make some bacon and eggs.

probably when you feel like you want to hang over the toilet seat agian for a couple of hours, but to stop one drink a pint of water before you go to bed it will cure it cos a hang over is dehydration

Usually means you are hung over the commode throwing up your guts.

Probably when you are so darn drunk that you have to hang over the toilet for ages
