Hello
On the other hand, my teacher’s reactionary grading shows that our society is culturally illiterate and that many people can’t tell good art from a hole in the ground.
(from Calvin and Hobbes, the IHT)
My question;
What does “a hole in the ground” mean?
I looked up in several dictionaries, but couldn’t find example sentences in which the phrase is used figuratively.
Does it mean something not worth paying attention to?
Thank you
