We Just Learned That The British Version Of The Dollar Store Is Called ‘ Poundland “

It makes total sense, right? We use the dollar so it’s “Dollar Store“, they call their money the pound so it’s ” Poundland “. Of course, the translation over here in the states is very different. Pound here is slang for, shall we say, aggressive lovemaking?

It all started innocently enough when an American author stumbled upon the store:

That’s when, according to Dailymail Uk, the twitter thread went sideways. “The Twitter thread then took a life of its own, with people responding with other British signs, shop names and terms used to describe every-day items.”

So if you find yourself in England and the cheeky bloke driving your Uber suggests taking you to Poundland, relax, he just knows where to find a great bargain.
