In the 1890s in San Fransciso there was a popular hooker named Helena who was recognizable in that she always carried a small handbasket instead of a purse or handbag; hence she acquired the nickname "Helena Handbasket". Sailors arriving in the port would often say things like "I'm gonna look up Helena Handbasket tonight" or in announcing their intention of what to do after a night at the bar, "Now I'm going to Helena Handbasket", which by association with the sinful nature of the activity involved, became the mondigreen, "going to hell in a handbasket".
Hey dude, if you don't stop chasing so much pussy you're going to hell in a handbasket.

Hell

Where all the fun people go. Gays have their own little place just to party. The only reason they are there is because God is stupid enough to think Satan needs a boyfriend.
See ya in hell

hell hole

An aircraft's tail compartment where air conditioning equipment, bleed air ducting, hydraulic reservoirs and filters, the APU, and other equipment are usually located. Named so because they're universally cramped, with parts placed in often devilish locations by engineers seemingly solely to screw over the A&P working on it. You will often find yourself working blind or being a contortionist because absolutely everything is in the way. In addition, they're hotter than hell when outside the hangar in the summer, especially when the APU was just run.
Dude, I gotta go in that G4's hell hole and change the rudder actuator. I'm gonna be soaked in sweat and Skydrol.

Send the new guy in the hell hole to change those filters.

I was working in the hell hole and cut the shit out of myself on a fucking cotter pin!
