So for example is it more accurate to say that things fall...on to...rather than in to a black hole? That’s fascinating!

Eh, that's taking it too far as the parent does.

"Hole" and "in" are pretty good metaphors for what a black hole is. It's hard to have any particularly accurate metaphors for what a black hole is because time dilation, the speed of light, curved space, etc. just aren't a part of life for any humans.
