In a piece of fiction, a Plot Hole is a completely implausible occurrence or series of events that contradicts logic or previously established events in the story. Includes things such as unlikely behaviour or actions of characters, illogical or impossible events, events happening for no apparent reason, or statements/events that contradict earlier events in the storyline.
A Plot Hole is NOT a simple omission of information or unanswered question. These can only be considered a Plot Hole if said omission has no plausible explanation AND is essential information to the overall story's outcome.

A portion of scripted material, usually in a movie or television show, that absolutely makes no sense at all and should have never been concieved by the writer(s) to begin with. A bump in the plot so bad that it kills any suspension of disbelief the viewer had.
Did you ever see Jeepers Creepers? Why would a young girl on a long drive with her boyfriend ever want to stop at a creepy farm to investigate someone shoving what seems to be a body into a hole in the ground? Most women let along younger girls I know won't even step on a bug.
Thats a plot hole you can drive a truck through.

A plot hole of such immense proportions, that you could drive a proverbial eighteen wheeler through it.
"How did Harry go back in time and save himself, nothing would've happened, he would have lost his soul to the Dementors already, right? I don't get it."
"Magic."
"Really?"
"No. It's just a plot hole you can drive a truck through."

Here are 2 examples of . Plot holes in the movie to live and die in la: example 1: when agent chance is chasing a counterfeiting mule through the airport there's a police officer chasing him.when chance stops chasing the police is no longer behind him (minor plot hole) example 2: special agent Rick chance lives in a malibu beach front cottage. How can he afford that on his treasury man's salary? Is he taking graft or has something else going on the streets in la that is not revealed in the course of the narrative?(minor plot hole)
