  1. 1812 Isnt że dawno temu. Wydobycia soli jest znacznie starszy. W zdaniu "idź funt soli" pochodzi w.......oh what the hell.

    SEnd a turn will ya!

    You will have to wait another hour or two till I get home from work.

    You could pass the time watching a replay of that awesome Bengals - Browns game and keep reminding Boo of all the things Cleveland did wrong.

  2. 1812 isnt that long ago. Salt mining is much older.

    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.

    Honestly what's the point if you can't say it in Polish?
