What is a dogpile?

Answer 1

In sports, especially Baseball, a "dogpile" is a celebratory ritual on the playing field. Players will pile up on top of one another, creating a high mound of bodies. This usually occurs when the final game is won in a tournament or competition. Dogpiles occur famously when a game ends as the final victory in the World Series or College World Series. The slang internet usage is similar to "piling on" where a group of individuals will participate in joint responses, especially disparaging, to a single initial post or comment. The internet meta-search site"Dogpile.com" is one of several (including Answers.com) that merge multiple responses from other major search engines. Dogpile.com is owned by InfoSpace.
