Hangman's grease is a term that refers to a type of lubricant traditionally used on the ropes of gallows to ensure a smoother drop during hanging executions. It is often made from a mixture of animal fats and oils. The name derives from the historical practice of hanging, where the "grease" was thought to reduce friction and potentially lessen the suffering of the condemned. Today, the term may also evoke a sense of dark humor or irony in popular culture.
