I'm probably reading this thread wrong, but didn't the author say "hole," and not, "whore?"

From National Lampoon’s Vacation:

Ellen Griswold: I honestly don’t think you’re going to find the Grand Canyon on this road.
Clark: Jesus, it’s only the biggest damn hole in the world.
Aunt Edna: Clark, watch your language!
Clark: Make that the second biggest.

Saw a really need documentary recently on that burning hole in the ground. The put a line over it and dropped a guy in it to take readings.

I saw that, too. Neat concept, and I'll give the guy credit for having a pair.
