I’ve heard from several sources that this is the most entertaining of all the SDMB forums.

Why?

Edit: please link to a few examples of BBQ pit threads that show off what the BBQp is all about.

Because insult humour is a very basic comedic trope. On occasion, our resident Pitizens are actually clever in their denunciations.

Also, folks like to say “fuck” a lot to get a reaction.

Years ago I left my computer on with the Dope up. When I found my teenage son checking it out he was in the Pit. I asked him what he though and he replied dismissively, “Reads like youtube comments written by graduates.”

The only reason any of us post here is to try and sneak the word cunt into our replies to other posters as sneakily as possible.

So far I’ve figured out the algorithms of Vinyl Turnip and Shodan, but I’m still working out Elucidator’s.

Serious answer: The Pit has gone downhill in recent years, but we used to get some really great rants. Try some of the threads linked to in [Any funny BBQ Pit threads that I should read?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=364773) or [Classic Pit Threads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=530385)

What’s sexy about the Pit? All the exposed nipples. Plus, once a year we have rape month, tipping month, declawing cat month and shoes on or off inside month. Thems is some sexy, sexy threads.

That’s right - rape month is coming up in February!

The Pit is for personal attacks (without calling anyone a cunt, which is still stupid and always will be). That’s it.

No, that isn’t it! I skip all the “Billy was a meanie in my IMHO thread!” stuff, and go right to the **Recreational Bitchslapping of Idiot Politicians/Bosses/Neighbors.**

There is nothing I’ve found more cathartic than watching a pro like _ **flatlined** _ or _ **Vinyl Turnip** _ eviscerate a clueless egotist.

Hell, just search “Shredder Guy”. There’s some sexy, right there.

NB: Sometimes we even bitchslap our own: I dare you to read the Paterno thread (if you’ve got a spare month; it’s up to 125 pages by now).
