I've seen this word used quite a bit and I'm guessing it's a term that refers to general snakes or maybe just constrictor snakes, but dictionary.com looks at me funny when I ask it to define boid and I'm not sure what it means.

(I got in trouble when I was 12 when I called my dad a "dildo" - I thought it meant "dumb person"...my mom made me look it up and since then, if I don't exactly know what a word means, I ask!)
