Does "dung pit" sound native?

No but **** pit has a certain savoir faire.

Never heard that term in casual conversation or in satirical context either.

Could it be considered native in NYC? Nope. In the United States overall? Nope. In the Appalachian mountains and the deep southern states of the US? Maybe??

Dung is usually heaped up. A dung heap, then.

A slurry pit is more usual. Semi-liquid animal waste is slurry.

An attempt at a joke perhaps, but your knowledge of French is lacking quelque chose.

I would call it a cesspit.

It's certainly a possibility, Ori.

No.

Says Dung Pit Dave, the idiot who knows next to nothing about English.

But it does have a je ne se quoi.

As we say in Wales, **** you.

Septic pits are dug to collect pet stool. One may correctly call them dung pits.

Im going with dung heap, at least in the US. I've just never heard anyone say dung pit. If you live in an area where you're not hooked up to public water or sewer systems, you install septic tanks. This usually happens in older communities livening near bodies of water. I live in Annaplis and if you looked at google earth you can see all the rivers, streams, and of course the Chesaepeake Bay. Being so close to the waterways our county didn't invest in public utilities, except electricity and phone lines. 50 years ago, most of this property was being farmed and it didn't make sense to prepare for new housing developments. (Big miscalculation)

But that's my understanding of the 'dung pit' question. What sounds normal to my Anerican ear is, dung heap, cess pool, garbage pit, and of course they all refer to different things. There may be other terms that I'm forgetting about now, maybe other folks know other terms.

Cesspit or septic tank.

Personally, I would have said "maybe she's fallen down the hole".

Gee, imagine that, ENLs can make personal choices about their language.

Delboy Trotter, he could use pidgin French and make it funny. Keep trying.

I've heard people say, do you think she fell in?, while waiting for someone spending way too much time in the little girls room. Or when they return, react in mock relief, and say"oh thank God, we thought you fell in"

Absolutely.

When we were kids, my dad used to knock on the door sometimes and ask if we needed a plunger.

Kids in bathrooms, how hard is it to replace the roll. I was always hounding my teenager to replace the roll when it was empty, he apparently was not tuned to pick up my frequency. On one particular day, after finding 2 bathrooms without toilet paper, and also finding 8 cans of soda opened but not empty, when son arrived, asked what were we having for dinner, I told him and then I said "oh, by the way, I had the engineers in today", now I have his attention, he said what did they do?, so I told him I had to have fresh rolls of toilet paper replaced in two bathrooms and search for and dispose of the 8 semi-full cans of flat soda scattered around the house.

It worked for awhile.

Well, it is rather hard to catch the nuances when I read this post of yours.

1) Does "tuned to pick up my frequency" mean "was able to keep my pace"?
2) Does "soda" mean "a sweet drink"?
3) Does "I had the engineers in today" mean "I've brought some engineers home today to be with us"?
4) Does "flat soda" mean "the soda drink can has no pressure"?
