Hangiar

Definition of Hangiar

Hangiar is a term used in Puerto Rico that means to go outside with your people. This has its etymology of the word Hang Out, from the English language, which in Spanish means hanging or hanging out.

It is popular that this term is used among Spanish-speaking Latin American youth, they use it when they go out to chorus with the people on the street.

This term is closely related to the word laziness, since these young people go out with their companions but not to carry out productive practices or to work, but rather than spend time.
