Pound Salt
Origin (from Go Lb. Salt - golbsalt.com) The phrase "go pound salt" orginated in the early days of commercial salt mine operations in the US. There were a number of specific jobs performed by people who worked in the mine. The lowest paying and most menial job was pounding large rocks into smaller crystals that could be used for cooking and curing of meats. This job was usually given to those deemed less intelligent (the village idiot, if you will) or those who could find no other gainful employment. The phrase became a popular way of telling someone to "go fly a kite", do something meaningless or menial, or that they were an idiot and needed to go preoccupy themselves with something mundane like crushing rock salt into crystals. Variation on the Theme In other parts of the country where salt mines were not common, a variation on the theme came into existence. "Go pound sand" was adopted/ adapted to convey the same meaning and was a shortened form of the phrase "go pound sand down a rat hole." Anyone with a modicum of intelligence and common sense knew that pounding sand down a rat hole was a waste of time, an idiotic waste of time. The rat would quickly dig his way back out and the filled in hole would reappear. Contrary to popular belief, both of these phrases; "go pound salt" and "go pound sand" are not vulgar. If you find a discussion that implies a vulgar or off color connotation, this likely results from the twisted world we live in!

It was a really good hoe mug!!!!!
Exactly what I was hoping for! Great product
My coworkers see all the cups I order from you, and this one is already one of their faves
Just what I expected. Merchandise looked just like it did online. Showed my friends and even they loved the cup! Plan on ordering more merchandise from you guys. Thanks. KLDS
Astounding Mug. I found this Mug in a dark time, the time when I needed a mug the most. I went onto google.net and found this truly amazing piece of craftsmanship. Manny Heffley came out of my computer and started to gyrate, before hopping out completely and eating my asshole. It felts so good, I started shaking and moaning, rapidly convulsing on the floor. Manny Heffley slowly crawled into my, hiding in my womb in order to store his power for 12 months and evolve to the form of "Baby 2". Thank you, Urban Dictionary. This mug changed my life.
Looks great and quick delivery
very good quality, wasn’t broken or anything and was a good gag gift !
I gave it to her today. And she loved it said it was her to the T
The Printing wasn't very sharp, but it's good enough.
It was a surprise gift for someone and she absolutely loved it!
This was sent as a gift to my grandson, who lives in another state, so I never saw it. However I asked him as follows: "Just checking ... their request for a review shows an aquamarine mug ... it was supposed to be purple (eggplant, they called it). Was it purple?" Then he said: "It was purple! And thank you I love it haha Sent from my iPhone"
Shipment arrived quickly and in great condition. I know my custom mug will be a crowd pleaser when my girlfriend opens it up for Xmas.
Soaking is my favorite activity, glad I got a mug for it 😙
It DIDNT break :D
so happy you were able to put my unique word "Obergrossescheinehund" onto the new yellow mug. The yellow mug and black print make it easy for the words to be seen.
This is made by my friend i love it
