Dangling

Dangling: to hang loosely (adjective)

This is the meaning of the word dangling according to Merriam Webster dictionary. I saw this word when I was reading Brave We Are on Wednesday September 12th, 2018. The sentence was on page 362 of the pdf I was reading. The sentence said “The idea has proved ticklish, he smiles, crumbs from the Stella Doro dangling on the sides of his face.” I understood what this word meant because he was eating cookies which the face is prone to getting crumbs on while eating. The crumbs were on the side of his face and mouth hanging there which could easily fall down from there when chewing or talking.
