I also took it to mean that it's not classy to smoke hash (i.e. 'you stay classy, San Diego' :D)

I remember the difference between class and id by thinking someone is trying to "Pound an idea into your head" or rather "# an id"

Just remember that a hashtag points to something specific. A dot means nothing, so that's the least specific/most generic thing

Strange one. FYI, "class" has the same meaning in French slang -- probably borrowed from you guys.

I think it's the other way around. I think you guys use _class_ as slang to _classy_: "pertaining to or characteristic of a (high) class," which comes from the literal sense of class, which comes from the French word _classer_.

I didn't know for sure, but I had that feeling knowing that most of the English language is borrowed from others, and not the other way around. (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&searc...)
