Re: Pit
Maybe pits come from the verb, to pit. I've got to pit these cherries before we use them in a pie. When you remove the stone, you are creating a pit. I don't know.
I'm an American Midwesterner who was transplanted to Texas for a while and married a local. I remember her telling me that her "nana" had a whale in her backyard, and that it was dangerous to play around. She get's to the end of the story, and I'm imagining a big sculpture of a whale in her grandma's backyard, then she says something about water, and I slap my head and say "You mean a well?" That's just one of many. I sometimes still can't understand what she is saying when she's on the phone with her mom.

Re: Pit
True, but sometimes it's meant to obfuscate, which I guess is a kind of communication ...ammo man wrote:The purpose of language is to communicate. This thread amply illustrates that.
