That’s beginning to feel like an understatement. We need a new type of hole to describe just how shit things are. A shit-Mariana Trench country, perhaps.

Uranus's moon Miranda has features called coronae, at least one of which has a depth probably exceeding the Challenger Deep low point of the Mariana Trench - estimated at 10 to 20 kilometers, vs. Challenger Deep's 10.4 kilometers.

Alternatively, the Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 has a depth of over 12.2 kilometers, also deeper than Challenger Deep.

That's... Pretty deep.

But I think we also need total volume.

Wikipedia, re: Valles Marineris on Mars:

At more than 4,000 km (2,500 mi) long, 200 km (120 mi) wide and up to 7 km (23,000 ft) deep, Valles Marineris is the largest canyon in the Solar System.

When they did a scan of my colon, they found I had pollips. Thats how we discovered I have cancer.

Then they cut the pollips off. I imagine that left a hole in the pollip area.

How about colon pollip hole?

It’s not the size of the whole that makes it bad, it’s the contents of the whole. So maybe a bloody diarrhea whole?

I think we can just call it dumpf's diaper.
