holeusually

Holeusually is a neologism used in theoretical discussions and speculative writing to describe a recurring occurrence of holes, voids, or perforations within a material or system under typical operating conditions. The term is not part of established technical vocabularies, but it is used informally to discuss patterns of porosity, flaw distribution, or narrative gaps in worldbuilding. In engineering contexts, it may be used as a heuristic to summarize the tendency of a design to develop voids rather than accounting for all microstructural details.

Etymology: The coinage blends "hole" with "usually" to convey a tendency rather than an absolute condition. Because it is informal, its exact definition varies by author and field, and it lacks formal standardization. The term has appeared in online discussions, design essays, and some speculative fiction, where it serves as a shorthand for predictable defect patterns.

Usage and interpretation: As a concept, holeusually is used to describe expected or observed frequencies of holes in materials, components, or narratives. In materials science, it might accompany a qualitative assessment of porosity or defect density to guide inspections. In storytelling or worldbuilding, it can signal deliberate gaps in infrastructure or plot elements. Critics note that the term is imprecise and context-sensitive, limiting its usefulness in formal communication.
