34. Urban Dictionary sez:
Reposted from: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pound%20sand

1. "The origin of the expression go pound sand is from a longer expression, not to know (have enough sense to) pound sand down a rathole. Filling rat holes with sand is menial work, and telling someone to pound sand down a hole is like telling them to go fly a kite. The expression dates to at least 1912 and is common in the midwestern United States."

2. to tell someone to fuck off.

3. A crude invitation to do something unnatural with sand and the male reproductive organ.

4. A term used when annoyed with a person.

5. Walk away (from the fact that each step requires one to press down the sand beneith one's feet; from Hawaiin slang)

6. To stick it where the sun don't shine.

7. The term pound sand originally referred to the degrading job of filling rat holes with sand. However, its meaning has evolved, it now refers to a technique used in Vietnamese whore houses. This technique was used when the whores would give a man a hand job and then right before the man would ejaculate the whore would cap the penis, give it one hard pump, and then release it causing the man to ejaculate with such force that the it would hit the ceiling.

Don't you know "full moon" is another term for pulling your trousers down and displaying your buttocks? What are you trying to say to us, "yardwork," if that is even your real name?

29. Perhaps it's an military adage?
My husband of 26 years and a a retired "jarhead" (USMC) always says "Pound sand!" when he thinks one is talking smack.

Good question. The above is only my best guess. :shrug:

Edited to note that I'm further offended to see that you actually were responding to another offended poster, thus ignoring me, which I find offensive.

39. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! *head pops*
and just so we're clear

exploding heads are offensive to survivors of exploding head syndrome, so therefore i condemn my own comments, and have in the process offended myself yet again.

56. Oh man, I love Opus. I always had my parents Bloom County books, and the sequel (Outland, i think?)
Opus was always a favorite character of mine. Right next to Oliver Wendell Jones, and the dude in the wheelchair whose name i am drawing a blank on right now.

59. That would be Cutter John
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutter_John

I loved everyone in that strip, but Bill the Cat was my personal favorite. I was just telling my husband the other day about the story arc where Bill was dating Jean Kirkpatrick: she was his "mujahideen mama," and once sent him a box of chocolates in the shape of Nicaragua with a note that read "Let's devour it together." lol

Calvin and Hobbes and the original Bloom County are two comic strips I still miss very much.
