bottomless pit
Hole without floor
A bottomless pit is a hole or chasm with no apparent floor—something so deep it seems to have no end.
The phrase often appears in religious contexts for hell or the abyss.
Figuratively, it describes anything that consumes resources without limit: The project became a bottomless pit for funding.
A person with a bottomless pit for a stomach has an insatiable appetite.
