Terminology
Okay, I'm going to expose myself as an idiot right now.
What exactly is Pitting? And for that matter, when it comes to honing, what is BBW?
And why is the sky blue?

I'll take a quick stab at pitting, until someone wants to weigh in on it in more detail ... it is the loss of metal caused by rust/corrosion/oxidation resulting in pits in the steel.
As to BBW, I assume it means Belgian Blue Whetstone ... as opposed to Baby Butt Whiskers :-)

Thanked: 3795Correct, and specifically it refers to the cratering effect left behind--small pits.

The Big Beautiful Woman reference as is commonly found in pornography or in some sexual reference was taken from a magazine by the same name. This knowledge is not of any importance just another stupid bit of trivia.
Oh, and the magazine was not pornographic in nature.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Thanked: 1371Yeah. Try a google image search for a wet BBW sometime and see how important the difference is.
As to why the sky is blue: Blue Sky - Why is the Sky Blue?
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
