Open Pit: When about 10-25 people all open up a large area in the pit (despite how crowded it is) and dance/flail around for the amount of time the music has high energy.
This is about the only time one can punch, slam again, step on, and hit anyone in view and have the victims not mind / enjoy it... though expect to get punched and hit back a LOT.
Closed Pit: When everyone shoves toward the front of the stage, not caring if they can or can't breathe. Find a way to breathe, or you just wont be able to.
Mosher: I'm going to a hardcore show tonight
Non-Mosher: You're gonna get your ass kicked

Mosh Slap = Slap of friendship
Charlie mosh slapped Yang cause they were such great friends.
10 or more people cramming into a confined space during a worldwide pandemic. Not recommended by most international health authorities.
Friend: (Backing way off when the opening door reveals a too-full elevator) "COVID MOSH!!"
Me: "Yo."
Somebody who is so lovey-dovey you want to Mush all over him
Mike is such a mush mosh he gives me so much love
Greatest guy I know. Humble as fuck, will never hurt you. He's a king, though he may not know that. Knows how to make you feel better. Great at soccer, maybe even better than Ronaldo
He's also great with women and got a big dong.
Damn this guy is so humble, he's such a Moshe Kuperman
When you're high in a mosh pit or when the mosh pit is full of weed smoke
The mosh pot at the Travis Scott show was lit!
Something venues say in order to forgo all liability in case someone gets hurt moshing the proper way.
A complete contradiction, because moshing is an untamed release of anger and adrenaline, and there's nothing friendly about it other than the common courtesy that includes picking someone up if they fall or helping someone out if they are injured. The only people who say "mosh friendly" are those who want to look like hardcore punks/metalheads but they're too scared to actually get in a real f**king pit. They're normally the assholes who piss and moan about how someone accidentally elbowed them.
Annoying prick: "Woah dude, watch where you're moshing! I'm holding a beer! Mosh friendly, man! Wtf GAWD show some respect!"
Metalhead: *doesn't hear Annoying prick because he's actually enjoying the show
*Annoying prick throws beer and other things at Metalhead while moshing but Metalhead still doesn't notice.
*Annoying prick is more disrespectful than mosher
