In Commonwealth English, the symbol is usually called the hash and the corresponding telephone key is called the hash key. In American English, the symbol is usually called the pound sign (outside the US, this term often describes instead the British currency symbol "£") and the telephone key is called the pound key.[1] In Canadian English, this key is most frequently called the pound key, in reference to telephone buttons,[citation needed] but in technology is always referred to as hash.

What's funny is that I had posted it from my phone, and hadn't seen the rest of the comments at the time. Boy do I feel late to the party.

It used to be the Number key on the phone but because we hang out with Americans and copy them we changed it.

Just saw this on Facebook. Granted, it was shared on instagram, but I don't want to see stupid fucking hashtags that literally are so non-specific they could refer to anything:
"#AudreyHepburn #picture with #quote from #icingbyclaires."
"#picture"? ISNT EVERYTHING ON INSTAGRAM A GOD DAMN PICTURE. f*ck ME IN THE ASS
