the only kind of cooking that doubles as a lie about temperature.
means Heating a liquid until it bubbles and turns to vapor — for water, the rolling 100°C churn — or, by extension, being extremely hot, angry, or crowded.
from From the verb 'boil,' which came into English through Old French 'boillir,' itself from Latin 'bullīre,' to bubble or seethe — built on 'bulla,' a bubble or blister (the same 'bulla' that, sealed onto papal documents, eventually gave us the word 'bulletin'). So at its root, boiling is simply the act of bubbling, and the figurative senses — a boiling temper, a boiling crowd — are all the language remembering what a pot looks like just before it goes over.
