When one is being told to “hang it up” that means that you need to let it go, or move on. Also can be used in reference to one being lame and out of touch with something.
“Hang It Up” also similarly refers to retirement.
Made popular in Nicki Minaj’s 2010 song ‘Roman’s Revenge’ ft. Eminem which was a diss to Lil’ Kim.
One hit wonder Silento still thinks he’s trending in 2020 with his Whip/Nae Nae crap from 2015? I think it’s fine for him to hang it up.

To "Hang It Up" means to hang ones self or to commit suicide.
A term used jokingly where I'm from. I don't know if it is used anywhere else.
Guy one: "What would you do if you found out Santa wasn't real?"
Guy two: "oh, hang it up for sure!"

1. To kill one's self, usually a prison term, to hang yourself with a sheet. Also a good way to wind up naked, in a paper johnny, in the infirmary, only say to screws who know you're kidding.
"Hey C.O., if you don't give me an extra corn bread I'm gonna hang it up!!!"

something said constantly between two "in love" teenagers at the end of a phone call
Jeremy: "You hang up first."
Suzie: "I ain't hanging up first; you hang up first."
Jeremy: "Well I'm not hanging up until you hang up"
Suzie: "Well, ditto here!"
Then that lasts for another hour or so...
