Hang in there vs Hang tough Can "hang in there" and "hang tough" be used both affirmatively and as an exclamation?
1.
- Johnson and Walsh who are our best players are ruled out; we've got a slim chance of reaching the final.
- Hang in there!/Hang tough!
2.
He shrugged off their discouragement and said: "I'll be hangin' in there/hangin' tough."
Are these examples fine?
