And why is it pissing me off?

[Merenguero]

I just started noticing # about a week ago and had the same question.

Always has been and always will be the 'number sign' to me. Somehow it got corrupted to 'hashtag,' because I guess saying 'number sign' wasn't trendy enough for hipsters and SWPLs to use on twitter and facebook.

[Kickb]

What about pound?

[BlurredSevens]

It's called a hashtag. People put it in front of a word on social media sites, so that others can search for that word or topic and see what people are saying about it.

It used to piss me off too el mech, until I realized a good use for hashtags: Whenever I'm in a new city, I use instagram to search #ABCbar or #XYZclub and then see if any hot girls frequent those places. It's a good way to see, in almost real time, what's going on at these places and if they are worth a visit.

It's a "pound" and it has been monopolized by the Count. and he also likes to "####"

[Mikev75]

On Twitter I kind of understand the purpose of hashtags. Less so on Facebook. I've seen FB posts like "nothing like #WarmPancakes on a Sunday morning." Do they really think anyone out there gives enough of a shit to do a search for that?

So it's an extension of attention whoring?

In Croatian, we call that sign "ljestve" (literally: "a ladder"). Until quite recently, its main use was in telephone centrals, now its main use is attention whoring.

Yes it is.

On certain sites where they are actually functional they do have a use. The also can have a purpose like the dude said a few post above to see where the hot chicks hang out.

How about #yoga
#pilates
#paleo
For some reason I always see hot women coming out of the NYC branches of Pinkberry. I'm going to go check out #pinkberry on Twitter.

It is the hash key used on phones. Tweeter adapted it and use it as a 'hash' tag.

I call it Chinese "Tick-Tack-Toe"

The ending part of the gif turns me off....she has a man jaw or something is wrong with her jaw. It sort of look like Trololo's face.

It has its uses. I run the social media for a local non-profit, and the only way we get ANY attention on Twitter is if we use the appropriate #tags for our posts so that people with an interest in that subject can find it when they search for #theirinterest.

[AntiTrace]

Its also useful for business purposes of building a brand. If you have unique # you can search yourself and see what kind of social media track you have going and what people are saying about your brand/product

Of course.. hot girls + # = hot girls at that club

or

Girls that are hot + # = Attention whoring for instagram

LOL!! I think this is fucking sweet...

It's going to be hot as hell to travel to some UK dump in 18 years and fuck the shit out of barely legal young HASHTAG with a hard as a rock Viagra 2.0 fueled mid-fifties cock.

Hell yes.
