A place for metal-heads, Droogies, and sometimes emos (who don't know what the hell they're doing) to congregate and basically beat the shit out of each other. Mosh pits usually take place at metal or punk concerts.
A mosh pit can, however, take place without any music. In this case a bunch of the aforementioned people would decide to gather in a public place (school, Wal-Mart, local mall, parking lot, etc.) and start an Open Pit, attempting to drag into the pit those who have no intention of entering. The most common types of mosh pits are as follows:
Confined (Closed) Pit: Involves lot's of people packed tightly together doing more jumping up and down than actual moshing. Most difficult to breathe in.
Open Pit: The most chaotic of pits, where anyone is fair game, and big slams/hits often bring congratualtions rather than reprisal. Much like a game of Wildcat without any football pads.
Hard-Core Dance Pit: Not a true mosh pit. An open area created by some emos who have foolishly attempted to ruin everyone's good time so they can "dance." Located next to or within a real mosh pit. Involves no real dancing. Fun for real moshers to turn into an Open Pit.
Circle Pit: A mosh pit in which everyone starts running in a cicle while shoving the person in front of them. People on the outside of the pit are often thrown into the circle pit unwillingly. Anthrax has been known to encourage its fans to start a Circle Pit during live performances of the song Indians.
Charge Pit: Much like the Circle Pit, this one involves a group of people running, or "charging," through the rest of the mosh pit in ultimate disarray, running over and trampling everyone in their path, but still remaining part of the group. In my opinion, the most insane, dangerous, and fun type of mosh pit. Requires a large area and lots of people.

The Slayer concert wasn't until Friday, so Lars got some Droogies together and started a mosh pit outside Wal-Mart.
Joe tried to fuck his emo girlfriend in the Hard-core Dance Pit but got his dick torn off when the metal-heads turned it into a circle pit.
Don't get in front of the Charge Pit. The only people brave enough to start that one have steel-toed boots and the urge to kill.

Get the mosh pitmug. One of the best songs written by Alice in Chains, but also the saddest. One of Layne Staley's many lyrical masterpieces.
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Get the toxic waltzingmug. A hardcore fan of the kickass thrash metal band Megadeth. The band's frontman, Dave Mustaine, uses the term when addressing his fans online.

Get the Droogiemug. What someone has if they've never been to a kickass show and slammed some heads in the mosh pit, thus making that person a concert virgin.

Get the concert virginitymug. A football drill in which there are two offensive linemen, a defensive lineman, a linebacker, a defensive back, a wide receiver, and a ball carrier lined up in a grid.
The ball carrier takes the ball to one side of the offensive double team where the linebacker attempts to make a stop. Towards the back of the grid the receiver tries to keep the defensive back out of the play.

Get the Wildcatmug. A brand of tape which is useful for just about anything. Many people use it to reattach broken pieces of their car after an accident. Other people construct expensive items such as wallets, or (if you're like me) shoes, out of Duct Tape to avoid wasting huge amounts of money on the real thing.
Silver Duct Tape is classic, but red and blue are only slightly less awesome.
Duct Tape shoes look far sexier than Nike Shocks or Asics.
