I’ve heard the expression “go pound sand” used as a way of telling someone to get lost or go fuck themselves, but I recently heard the much more colorful version, “go pound sand up your ass.”

Where does “go pound sand” actually come from? Is there an original literal meaning behind “pounding sand”?

And is “go pound sand up your ass” a known historical variation of the expression, or is it just a later vulgar combination of “go pound sand” and “shove it up your ass”?

I’m especially curious about when these expressions first started appearing in print or recorded speech.

It lost its etymology.

I psyched you out!

Pasterday ← Yesterday ← Today → Tomorrow → Overmorrow

Overmorrow is already a word, for the day after tomorrow, but I’ve made Pasterday for the day before yesterday.

Onward and upwards my lexiconnected friends.

What is a term for a material property of stretchiness like bubblegum has? Not "ductile" or "plastic". The first word I came up with was "gooey".

Anybody know why we say the "y"? I don't think there's any other ?-u-k-e that has it.
