A term coined by Michael Stevens of Vsauce, Boil-o is an invisible, undetectable, unverifiable/unfalsifiable substance that appears whenever things begin to boil. While, yes, the phenomenon of boiling is perfectly explained without Boil-o, Boil-o is still there.
Boil-o is used as an example of redundancy. If a phenomena is perfectly explained without something, why include the something?

"Johnny: Yo man, I'm cooking up some pasta, you want some?
Mike: Yeah, sure, just start boiling the water.
Johnny: Don't you mean "apply BOIL-O to the water?"
Mike: For fucks sake, John, I don't want to get into this philosophy shit, it's been a long day, just- just tell me when you're done, alright?
Johnny: Jeez man, fine, I'll tell you when it's done.
Mike: Thank you.

Get the Boil-omug. King-side castling or short castling, a move in chess consisting of moving the king two squares toward the king-side rook on the same rank and then moving said rook to the square the king passed over. The move cannot be performed if the player is in check, or if the king or the rook in question has already moved. King-side castling is notated O-O.

Get the Ale Omug. O-H means Original Hipster. Like Jack Kerouac or Jim Morrison. People who have a rockstar-attitude, live on the road, seem to be intlectuals and are heavily intoxicated by alcohol or other kinds of drugs.
