A very big, very dangerous or concerning looming threat or danger. It doesn't have to be a large scale danger (like a war) or involve literal nukes, but could also be something that could involve severe emotional devastation or an unrecoverable argument between friends (Like mentioning a topic that could give someone a major panic/anxiety attack).
Person A: Why don't you talk about (game) in this chat?
Person B: Well, I am a fan of that game, but one of my friends has a really big anxiety trigger involving it, so I don't mention it out of respect.
Person A: Thank God you told me, that could've been a nuke in the sand.

Get the Sand Candle mug.Sand Forest Theory is a theory that was founded by Irving Aguilera when living in North San Diego. Constant trips to nature that were around the city of Fallbrook & Temecula led to him finding a National Park with Sand in it. The sand had sparkles and gold potential. Upon further inspection Irving came to the conclusion the sand got to the California hills via a catastrophic event known as Pole Shift.

Get the stinky sand mug.Euphemism for engaging in intimacy, esp. with a hater and a gatekeeper, who is also God's favourite princess, and the most interesting girl in the world (see Shadowheart). Originated in Baldur's Gate 3, an RPG released in 2023 by Larian Studios.
Shadowheart: "Though I'm still finding sand in my hair - I wonder what the others will think of that..."
Tav: "They will naturally assume we snuck away to make sand castles in the middle of the night."
Shadowheart: "But of course they will. I hope we'll have more opportunities to slip away... and make sand castles."
Aliona Baranova: "Sometimes you can just tell when someone's good at making sandcastles, right? I haven't tested my theory, but I feel like I know... I feel like you can tell, by someone's personality, if they're good at making sandcastles or not. What do you think?"
Jennifer English: "I'm bad at making sandcastles."
Jennifer Sandcastles: "I'm very good at making sandcastles, for the record... I'm great at sandcastles, call me Jennifer Sandcastles."

My doctor looked very foreign(he was dark skinned and very middle eastern looking) but when he spoke and we began joking around I could tell he was a Sand Whigger and we weren’t going to need a translator after all…LOL!
