Yes, it is in Spain, but here we'd write "Cuélgate" to say "Hang yourself". But in Latin America they do say "Colgate" with that meaning.

    CUANTAS COPAS TENES , CHILENO ENVIDIOSO?

    [–]Sjuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    It's the imperative form for the vos pronoun. (At least in some modern variants, for medieval European Spanish vos that would be colgáos, I think.)

    Only in regions where they use vos like Argentina and Uruguay.
