Nidan1 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 What are you nattering on about now? From the Urban Dictionary: "The origin of the expression go pound sand is from a longer expression, not to know (have enough sense to) pound sand down a rathole. The expression dates to at least 1912 and is common in the midwestern United States." 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.
