"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. Filling rat holes with sand is menial work, and telling someone to pound sand down a hole is like telling them to go fly a kite. The expression dates to at least 1912 and is common in the midwestern United States."

(Me destroying a kid in Madden)
Kid: *starts crying*
Me: Oh boo hoo! Let me play the world’s smallest violin for you! Pound sand, cry to your mommy and tell her that I beat you. Why don’t you just pound sand and rage quit, you’re just wasting my time.
