The implication is that what's floating your boat is fine because it isn't bothering anyone else.

Hey guys I did some research.
It turns out that this "saying" was actually a WWII code. Apparently, it meant:
"We float, you die!" and it ordered ships/ground units to kill everything but themselves. Heres a picture of it in action:
See, the fuschia-boxed car is commanding the light blue-boxed car to kill those stupid bitches right in front of him. Soon they're all dead [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].
The distant vehicles, green, blue, and red, are backup. Basically, if the light blue boxed car gets killed in some freak accident (like that would ever happen anyway), those guys rush in and drive-by shoot everyones asses. Nobody is safe.
I actually had you down for the most Normal Member award
there was a picture here
More information I found on the code:
This photo was taken back in 1734, when World War II was forming. (to be exact, when George Washington launched a blitzkrieg on China.)
The 2 men on motorcycles are American soldiers. They're eying that car over there. At approximately 16:83 AM, these guys launched a signal "WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT!!"
Heres a direct quote, stated by Condoleeza Rice:
"At exactly that time, those 2 men pulled out bazookas and shot
that car right in the crotch."
This was a retalliation on the blitzkrieg. Apparently, that car was too badass for America.
Why such hostility over a phrase?
I usually say it whenever I'm asking my family what they want to eat for dinner.
Yeah I also use it as a horny term.
A coward dies a thousand deaths. A soldier only dies ONCE
Whatever blows up your skirt, as Sammie would say.
its alot more suited than "Whatever gets your pummer pumming"
or "Whatever Blows up your blouse"
It's a cool.
Str8 Pimpin'
I don't mind the saying.
Does anyone know what's up with "Cutting the mustard" though? I mean, it doesn't make sense to me at all.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
All I can say about all these stupid metaphors: "Whatever."
"Whatever floats your Boat... just make sure I'm there to laugh when it sinks." - My new revised version
I don't mind that saying.
I really can't stand people using the saying "Same difference."It's just a jokey, deliberately illogical slang expression that doesn’t belong in the English language.
The difference in apples and carrots, and oranges and carrots is the same difference, depending on the context being spoken about. The apple and orange are both fruit, while the carrots are vegetables. The difference is the same.
