We cut the chit-chat a hole. What's 'a hole' here?

This is a scene from the movie, 'The rock.'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVZxh1WDOec

Here, Nicolas, the agent, slighly pissed off, says loudly,

"What do you say we cut the chit-chat a hole.'

I already learned what it is to 'cut the chit-chat'.
That's like 'to stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point,'
Right? No problem with it.

The puzzling part is 'a hole'.
Is it like, 'ass-hole'?

I looked up the dictionary to see what 'a hole' could indicate here in vain.

Is it a way of calling someone's names?
Like, 'You're the one who is wrong here, a hole'?

I doubt it makes sense.

Would you show me the exact usage of 'a hole'?
I'm dying to know.

I suspect it should read, "What do you say we cut the chit-chat, a-hole." A-hole is a way of saying asshole, which is considered bad language. (In case that doesn't make it past the automated censor, the word is a-s-s-h-o-l-e.)

@Setanta,
Thank you. I had no idea the term asshole is such a bad word to go through some cencership. I'd better use 'a hole' instead of 'asshole' myself in case I need to use some foul languages.

It's not something which one would use in "polite society," as it was once said. These things are changing, though. It appears that the automated censor here doesn't have a problem with it.
