It's a pain in the butt, but I hate wasting water almost as much as I hate cleaning up wet floors.
Bung is the hole(s) in the lid or barrel. Usually two in each lid. There's a screw in cap, or bung plug that threads into the threaded holes.

And yeah, mini floods tend to happen to me as well. I now only make RODI when I'm home and use the timer on my kitchen stove as a reminder to go downstairs & check how things are filling up. Started making some water this morning & almost forgot to turn on the timer, doh, so even that's not foolproof when you get absentminded.

Chuckle, looks like you figured the bung thing out before I got done posting...
