what does "go pound sand mean"?

Answer 1

"Get lost" or "go away". I thought it meant "pond sand" as in walk, like you're pounding the sand with your feet. But I looked it up and this is what I found:

Meaning

An expression of disdain, along the same lines as 'get lost', 'go and play in the traffic', etc.

Origin

This is sometimes used with the intention of meaning 'go and beat/whack sand' - with the back of a shovel or similar. That's not the original meaning though, as is made clear from the longer and less-often used version of the phrase - 'go pound sand up your ***'.

The phrase originated in the US and although common there, especially the midwest states, it isn't frequently heard in other countries.

The version 'go pound salt up your ***' is also sometimes used, presumably to heighten the image of discomfort.

It may well date to the early 20th century. That version was certainly well enough known in the US in 1969 for Max Yasgur to have used it when arguing with local dignitaries over his bringing the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival to his farm in Bethal, New York, saying:

"Well, you can all go pound salt up your ***, because come Aug. 15, we're going to have a festival!"

There's also a less vulgar version, 'go pound sand in your ears'.

Here's an entry from the Southeast Economist, Chicago, 1948:

"From her store of memories Mrs. Mary R. Stuart of Harvard Ave, perpetrator of this column of sayings of wisecracks popular in the 'Oh yeah?' era, recalls that 'go pound sand in your ears' meant to soft-pedal the noise."

Answer 2

Pound Sand

Answer 3

The original term is You should go pound sand (down a rat-hole) .. In other-words Go do something else totally pointless.

It means whatever you are doing "currently" is completely meaningless, so you should (get out of here and quit bothering people) and go pound sand down a rat-hole (to block it in), which is equally pointless since the rat will simply dig its way out anyway.

AKA, "you should go do something more constructive with your time, like pound sand." Hope that helped you out. :)

Answer 4

In the military "pound sand" typically means the respondent has their "heels dug in" and is not about to do what you are asking. No matter how hard you try, sand will not conform to the shape you want if you pound on it... The person is saying that it is pointless to ask or mention the issue again... as pointless as pounding sand.
