Though actually, the same spelling shows up in two other places people stretch: a plan that hinged on one phone call (depended on it), and, on the internet, hinged as “calm and together,” because unhinged already meant “wild, not in control.” That last sense was cut back from unhinged; it is mostly young and online, and not everyone uses it.

Though actually不過其實 the same spelling shows up in two other places people stretch同樣的拼法也出現在另外兩個被拉寬使用的地方 a plan that hinged on one phone call (depended on it)一個計畫hinged on one phone call（取決於一通電話） and, on the internet, hinged as “calm and together,”還有在網路上，hinged被用來說「冷靜、有條理」 because unhinged already meant “wild, not in control.”因為unhinged原本就是「瘋狂、失控」的意思 That last sense was cut back from unhinged這個新意思是從unhinged反過來截出來的 it is mostly young and online主要是年輕人和網路上在用 and not everyone uses it不是每個人都這樣用
