Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
A distinct and predictable pattern of attacks or movement a boss takes. This can be based in reaction to a player's actions or simply a stringent script the boss adheres to.

Swearing, cursing, call it what you want. It is an expression of anger or frustration, in most cases.
Powerful robots waiting for you at the end of every Mega Man level. They each have unique weapons that you can absorb if you defeat them; conversely, they all have unique weaknesses as well.
Not all scientists are mad and/or hell-bent on dominating worlds. Some are just your ordinary egghead with a coat.
What lies ahead, and is distant from the present.
Some bosses transition through two or more forms during the course of a fight. Each form has its own abilities and health separate from those of other forms.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
