The structure combines "hang" (to make a turn) with "a right," forming a phrasal verb for turning right. It is used to describe making a right turn while driving or walking, often in informal, quick directions. People typically say "Hang a right at the stop sign" or "Hang a right after the bridge." The term originated in mid 20th century American English, parallel to "hang a left," and remains common in casual speech.
