I've heard it for years, but originally as "weird out" ("That really
weirds me out"). The loss of the particle is in line with a trend:
        hang out 'spend time' (with PERSON, at PLACE)
         -> hang
        ...

Oh damn, I've mentally misplaced the other examples that I've noticed,
but I know there are at least several. Help!
