My cousin was telling us how she went to the beach in San Diego with her Nani. Her Nani walked up to the water and shouted "BOLE SO NIHAL".
I asked my mum what connection the water had to our religion. She couldn't quite explain it. If you know the connection, please let me know :)

That means and does nothing. Plain and simple. There are various references, metaphors, etc. made towards water in Sikhi. Guru Nanak gave water the status of a father:

Some people, as in the case you have provided, understand it to be literal, which only leads to such meaningless rituals.
