    Wait, do you consider cups to be portable holes for liquids?

      If you don’t see the difference between a cup and a plate because they’re the same topologically then I’m gonna use them interchangeably around you.

        Of course they are different. But they aren’t holes lol.

          I’m not going to stand for this hole trutherism. If you take a shovel and dig, you have made a hole. We have called that a hole forever. Usage dictates meaning.

            Sure if you dig a hole I agree that it’s called a hole.

            But saying that cups or other containers have holes is unhinged even if you ignore topology completely.
