I marked it as [col] (and added the English slang glosses) because it's not a technical term. From Wikipedia:
"日本では2000年代にインターネットの電子掲示板やブログなどのメディアを通じて紹介され、その異様な雰囲気の光景にいつしかダム穴という名前が付けられ話題を呼んでいる"
The article also describes the word as a "俗称" in the opening sentence.
I've added "spillway" to the 2nd and 3rd glosses because that's how they tend to be used.

Is ダム穴 really [col]?
It seems like a rather matter-of-fact term.
Do we need the 2nd and 3rd gloss, they also have some rather different meanings?
