Usage Note

Raccrocher literally means to hang something back on a hook (raccrocher un tableau), but its most common modern use is ending a phone call. Raccrocher au nez de quelqu'un ('to hang up on someone') is slightly rude. The opposite, picking up, is décrocher.

Examples

"Elle a raccroché sans dire au revoir."

Natural Translation

She hung up without saying goodbye.
