In Norwegian we use the word "kleshenger" for a clothes hanger.
So far I have only thought about that word as being connected to a more neutral version of hanging up something.
Now, when I bought new wooden clothes hangers (I have this "thing" about wooden clothes hangers) in the Clas Ohlsson shop in Moss, the Swedish tag (shown above) made me rethink the the connection between the word "hanger" to the very aggresive word of "gallow" (galge).
Imagine your clothes being hanged in a gallow!
In my case, in a wooden gallow.
