The word 'stagecoach' originates from the coach travelling in stages on it journey to A to B....obvious..
The term 'hanger-onners' - those folks who we now regard as loitering on the periphery of an event - stems from stagecoach days.
A cheap way to travel, for example, would be just to hang-on the outside of the coach...hence the term.
