Pits is informal for armpits: I haven't shaved my pits in weeks.
More broadly, the pits means the worst possible situation or quality—an expression of thorough disgust: This weather is the pits.
My job is the pits.
The phrase likely derives from the unpleasant associations of armpits or from pit as a dark, undesirable place.
