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?!

Poundsigning 

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

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.
"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
