I first heard this term in How I Met Your Mother when Ted dressed up as a hanging Chad for Halloween. I tried to look it up & Google basically just said that it was a voting ballot that people used to punch holes out of. But I feel like I’m missing something.. in the show, they would make fun of Ted for wearing an outdated costume
& would tell him that “the hanging Chad reference
Is very old” & that most people wouldn’t understand it. Which signifies some sort of inside joke or understanding, but I don’t get it. please! Thank you!

That’s an easy one to answer.
A *hanging chad* (noun) is the reason America spent several trillions dollars bombing the Middle East instead of helping its own citizens, climate change legislation got squashed, and a significant portion of appointed judges guiding the American legal system believe in literal angels and biblical “prophecy.”
Hope that clears things up.
