"This is really important.  There was a time (especially on the west coast) when ""Skanking"" was used to describe what went on in the pit.  ""MOSH""ing is another Jamaican term for dancing (as in ""Mosh it up"").  At some point ""Mosh"" replaced ""Skank"" as the term of choice.  There is nothing about ""Wetlands"" in the history of the term.
