necktie party

   a lynching

   The necktie is the noose:

    The solitary bent branch enough to tell any Western fan that it would eventually be used for a necktie party. (Deighton, 1972)

   Also as a necktie sociable. The victim might be measured for a necktie:

    ... then he knew he was being measured for a necktie. (Price, 1985, and not by an outfitter)

   The outcome was to have his neck stretched:

    He shot the associate... and was taken off to have his neck stretched. (Bryson, 1995)

   or wear a designated necktie. After a revolt in the Baltic provinces in 1906, the Russian Prime Minister Stolypin caused more than 2,000 rebels to be shot or hanged:

    He followed on with such gusto that the noose became known as the 'Stolypin necktie'. (Moynahan, 1994 — this did not stop the British Ambassador in St Petersburg naming him as 'the most notable figure in Europe')
