Now, this is no game so, don't start getting any naughty ideas in that head of yours! It applies to a situation (assuming nobody raises) in which the player in the big blind is dealt weak hole cards, but ends up making the best hand because he/she was able to see the flop for free, often two pair with unusual cards such as 3-9 or 10-2.

A house dealer has the chip tray in front of him/her which is referred to a box. Hence comes the saying: you've been in the box for an hour now; don't you get a break?

If while dealing, a card in the deck is upturned or face-up (as opposed to over turned), it is kept aside and not used in the game. It's considered "boxed".  But this is a general rule. There are various rules to deal with such exposed cards.
