From the Wikipedia page on black holes [1]:
"A black hole is an object predicted by general relativity with a gravitational field so strong that nothing can escape it — not even light.
A black hole is defined to be a region of space-time where escape to the outside universe is impossible. The boundary of this region is a surface called the event horizon. This surface is a set of points (not an actual substance) in spacetime. Nothing can move from inside the event horizon to the outside, even briefly.
The existence of black holes in the universe is well supported by astronomical observation, particularly from studying X-ray emission from X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei. It has also been hypothesized that black holes radiate energy due to quantum mechanical effects known as Hawking radiation."

depends on who you talk to.
1) to a scientist, it is a big hole in universe that sucks everything that comes near it.
2) to a child, it is just a black hole
3) to a horny guy, it is your pu$$y baby ...

A big rip in space where everything gets sucked in, gases, light, time, etc.
