Where I'm from:

"#" => "hash" (never had I heard it being called "pound")

"!" => "exclamation mark/point" (never had I heard it being called "bang")

So to me "#!" was "hash exclamation" in my college in home-country.

Then I went to USA for an exchange program, where people consistently called it "she bang" and "pound bang". Took me a while to get it.
