My Junior year of high school, my English teacher was going over some commonly misused words and got on the subject of "hanged" vs. "hung". She said "When a blanket is clipped to a clothesline to dry, it is hung. When I man is executed by noose, he is hanged. Men are hanged. Men are not hung." My classmate raised his hand and... well, Long story short, my classmate got detention.
