The only thing I see hanging is an old-fashioned deep sea diver suit, so it must be that very common phrase "suspended aquanaut".#4: Susan Eberhardt (susaneber) on Nov 21, 2018 [SPOILER]
Did I win? Huh? Did I? I must've.

Ahhhhhhhh...#9: Ga Hendrick (GaHendrick) on Nov 21, 2018
Very clever. And the guesses were even more original. Thanks everyone.#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 21, 2018 [SPOILER]
John got it. It is any of "hangout", "hang out" or "hanging out".#11: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 22, 2018
It's a good thing that Bill can suspend his disbelief.
A hanged man gathers no moss?#12: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Nov 24, 2018 [SPOILER]
Lol...I actually got this one before I looked at the comments. It was a great aha moment when I saw the vertical word "out!" Funny how a small victory like that can lift a person's spirits. It's one of the special intangibles I love so much about Webpbn and our community. Thanks, Joe!#13: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 24, 2018
Joe, that is really a cleverly designed puzzle. I looked at those holes and thought that they just had to be a clue, but couldn't see it. I enjoyed the solve and I enjoyed the comments. You are all so funny!#14: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 24, 2018
Thanks for playing, everyone!
Teresa, it helps to remember that Whatzits are text-based puzzles.
