They are commonly referred to as Potholes in Oregon, but I have heard,

though infrequently, some refer to them as Chuckholes. I would tend to

agree with the statement that Potholes is replacing Chuckholes in the NW.

I have never heard of 'chuck hole'. For me it's a pothole. My wife,

also an Oregonian, said that she's heard chuck hole, but from only her

parents-- no one her age would say chuck hole. Maybe pot hole has

replaced chuck hole in Orygun.
