Anyone Actually Use the Phrase: "Go Pound Sand?"

[Noah930]

OK, so this term gets tossed around here a lot. But does anyone here actually, verbally use that phrase? I mean, in the heat of an argument do you actually tell the other person, "Go pound sand?" (Or do you use some other equivalent or facsimile thereof, like "Go F yourself?")

I must admit I've never used that phrase "on" someone. But having mentioned it in conversation a couple times, I've found few people who actually know what it means.

Yup, I have used it in the past but I use the full phrase and not too often

[Andy911sc]

"Go Pound Sand" is the official phrase around my office. Boss and I both use it.

[Jim Richards]

Once in a blue moon

Funny - I was in EMC training last week, and the instructor used that phrase quite a bit in his examples.

I have heard that expression before, but it is quite a coincidence that I heard for the first time in a while last week, and now you are bringing it up here.

Hmmm.....

[Miguel Antonett]

Yes, but not often.

[McLovin]

I hear it all the time, but I don't think I've ever heard it said by someone directly to someone else.

In other words, I hear people say "Joe told Sam to pound sand," (even though Joe probably never said those words).

Or "We can't make that proposal, they'll tell us to pound sand!"

But I've never had someone tell me to pound sand, and I've never heard anyone actually tell anyone that.

Only when I'm talking about Rick.

That is just a lot of baloney!

I never heard of this phrase until someone said it about 10 years ago. Now I use it all the time. I usually start by telling someone to go get a hammer....now get some sand... now pound it up your....

[Hard-Deck]

I use it all the time.

I think it's a phrase used by people who also refer to younger people as "whipper-snappers". They also drink Sanka and take Anacin fro headaches.


On a side note, we have a guy at work who says "F*** your hat!" when he's pissed at you. Had not heard that one before...

Nope, I just smile and walk away.

OK - the mental imagery from that one made me bust up laughing!

Never heard anyone say pound sand in person. Actually in today's world, I don't hear too many confrontational remarks. Guns come out too easily.
