Go to Post Spouting off without all of the facts is a bad idea. It's also bad to envoke the gods of "Gracious Professionalism" to judge others. - Rich Kressly [more]

From Websters -

Bo"lus (?), n.; pl. Boluses (#) A rounded mass of anything, esp. a large pill.

It's my weird background showing through. When I used to work on ambulance crews, we referred to a "bolus" in the context of medications delivered as a supplemental I.V. charge. After a while, we tended to generalize it to mean anything running through a tube (and trust me, you don't want to know how it is appropriate to describe large masses of anything running back wards through tubes, particularly after eating college dining hall food!).
