Pound Sign

The pound sign will appear as # in Latin script and indicates that what follows is should be read as a number in some series.

May also be referred to as a hash especially in computing circles or outside of North America or number sign.

Referring to a pound sign as a hashtag will probably, rightly or wrongly (but probably rightly) give cause for adults to think you are a child.

Pound sign

A tattoo on the lower back of a female. Generally some kind of tribal tatt, seen on the wall of a tattoo shop, or a butterfly, dolphin, or sun burst. Usually seen just above the thong line, to draw attention to it.
Damn bro, did you see that pound sign on that chick at the club last night?!

Another way of saying hashtagging since a hashtag and pound sign is basically the same thing

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
