pound sand
Go away, jerk
Pound sand is a dismissive expression telling someone to go away or stop wasting your time—equivalent to "get lost" or "go to hell." The full phrase is often go pound sand, sometimes extended to the cruder pound sand up your ass.
The image suggests a pointless, menial task.
