283 down and 941 to go!

Well—been told to pound rocks, lead, and moose dung so far. But not salt. Hope this counts.

To pound salt?
What does that mean?
My answer is no though.

janbb's avatar

@rebbel You don’t remember when I told you to pound salt?

rebbel's avatar

@janbb Who are you? ~

cookieman's avatar

I once offered to hug @wundayatta – which he promptly refused. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t hitting on him though.

janbb's avatar

@cprevite I’m baking chocolate chip cookies today.

wilma's avatar

No, and I’m also wondering what pounding salt means.

@blueiiznh could you pass the popcorn?

SuperMouse's avatar

I have never hit another jelly. I have never been told to pound salt.

blueiiznh's avatar

@wilma I’m not sure why anyone would pound salt, but maybe it is something that was done at one time. Perhaps it refers to crushing large pieces of salt into finer crystals, or weighing salt into smaller increments; both of which would be dull menial work. Maybe it refers to walking on salt, similar to ‘hit the bricks’ or ‘kick mud’, since salt is often spread on the ground as a de-icer in winter and is also common in desert and seashore areas.
(NSFW) It could also mean to got F yourself

@wilma passing the salted popcorn

wilma's avatar

@blueiiznh thanks and umm… where did you get the salt for the popcorn?

janbb's avatar

Has anyone churned any butter for the popcorn?

blueiiznh's avatar

@wilma it was right next to the butter churner thinger

wilma's avatar

I have churned butter, I suppose that makes me suspect.

I am still watching to see if someone admits to hitting on another flutherer and being told to pound salt. Would they admit it if it happened? Do people really hit on other people on the internet? For real?

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

@wilma yes they do. The women on this site are predatory.

marinelife's avatar

@SuperMouse Hit on not hit. There is a biiiigggg difference.

SuperMouse's avatar

@marinelife oh, in that case I amend my answer: I have never been told to pound salt.

cookieman's avatar

@janbb: stop talking dirty to me penguin. :^)

Just @jonsblond and she told me to pound on something else . . .

Mama_Cakes's avatar

I’m sure she did. ;-)

janbb's avatar

Is that ^^ related to this?

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

Nah. Awhile back, there was a thread asking about which Jelly you would ask to be your date to a Fluther function. I stated Downtide. Afterwards, I sent him a PM stating such and begged forgiveness if this proved embarrassing. He didn’t tell me to go pound salt, thank goodness.

janbb's avatar

@cprevite I jsut added the nuts to the mix.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Please pass the popcorn over here @janbb.

cookieman's avatar

@janbb: I’m sorry I simply will not discuss nuts in public.

pecans or walnuts?

janbb's avatar

@cprevite Meet me in the kitchen with a big – err, spoon.

Blackberry's avatar

No, I’ve successfully pounded the salt of every jelly I’ve hit on, lol.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@Mama_Cakes WWFC left a while back. Maybe she’ll return, maybe she won’t. What does that have to do with this thread?

Mama_Cakes's avatar

Just noticed that she pulled the pin (she left). Nothing to do with this thread.

cookieman's avatar

don’t mention the wooden spoon, don’t mention the wooden spoon, don’t mention the wooden spoon…

tinyfaery's avatar

Pound salt? Is that what they do in Canadia?

AstroChuck's avatar

I’ve been told to “pound sand”, but have never heard “pound salt” before.

cookieman's avatar

^^ Yeah, my mother used to say “pound sand” also. Never heard of pounding salt.

@janbb: Warm cookies. Mmmmm.

Mama_Cakes's avatar

Chuck, we say it over here in Canada.

cookieman's avatar

@Mama_Cakes: So then, do you say someone is “sand of the earth”?

Kayak8's avatar

People from areas with salt mines would say, “go pound salt” and those from other areas would encourage the pounding of sand. This is in the same context of telling someone to “go fly a kite.” It means “get lost,” “leave me alone,” etc.

bkcunningham's avatar

It was me. I hit on The Secret Service Man. I offered him sexual favors in return for an autograph from Ted Nugent.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Waiting just a minute @bkcunningham YOU KNOW Ted Nugent.

bkcunningham's avatar

@Tropical_Willie, I have been told to plead the fifth. This conversation my be monitored.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

@bkcunningham no problem I’m connected with a half a dozen members of the Department of Home Security in DC

NOT

Secret_Service_Police's avatar

It was me. I hit on The Secret Service Man. I offered him sexual favors in return for an autograph from Ted Nugent.

I promptly informed her that I was “not that kind of boy”.

Berserker's avatar

Once I was flirting with someone, and they said that if I didn’t stop, they’d lock me in a safe, and throw me in the Hudson River.

serenade's avatar

I’m savvy enough anymore to pick the right battles, but I had @delirium fever as bad as the next guy or gal back in the day, which was probably a nonstarter for most everyone who tried to breach that firewall. She had it going on though—as our matriarch once put it, “a face that could launch a thousand ships.”

tranquilsea's avatar

My “hitting on” days have passed my hubby is happy to know.

Coloma's avatar

Nope. I’m here to party, not settle down. lol
