The pit is a chamber that has still underneath it a sealed off shaft that leads to a tomb chamber. When they place a mummy in the tomb chamber with his furniture, they seal the shaft entrance, leaving only a floor of the pit. You can see the design in the Mastabas. I am still not sure why they did not dig yet under the pit. Probably there is water and it can collapse the pyramid.
I would think it meant the "pit" of a fruit, the part you throw out (unless you plan on planting it). The fruit is the eatable yummy part, the pit the uneatable yucky part.
it means tacos and taco sause
A pit privy is a latrine with an outhouse over it. A hole is dug in the earth, an outbuilding is placed over it for convenience and privacy, and people use it for sanitary elimination. (A latrine is simply a hole or trench that is used for human elimination, then covered as needed.) A pit privy may be covered as needed and the outhouse building above moved to a new location.
