I've been hung out to dry

3. You won't be wet anymore

1. I've been cast aside.
2. Thrown to the wolves
3. Traded in for a different model.

It must mean that you are not needed at this moment so you are being hung out to dry like a peice of laundry and you will be picked up later when you are wanted. Usually someone says this when they feel they have been slighted by their friends.

nice
Instead of "I've been hung out to dry", in Russian we say "Отправить в отставку, От ворот поворот"
