I’m not a native English speaker, but I do get most of the slangs. Still, this one got me puzzled 🤔… I really can’t see any relation to motors or boats in this.
!nostupidquestions is a community space dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
That’s it.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Let everyone have their own content.

Because internal combustion engine shipping sounds ridiculous
Two stroke engine floatation if I may
Yeah, two strokes sounds about right :/
A stroke and a half is the best I can do. Take it or leave it.
Lol, gave me a good chuckle 🤣.
In addition to what others have said, observe that as a motorboat pushes through the water it creates a wake, a pair of waves that curve up and away from the boat.
Mhm… yeah, you could do waves on breasts I guess… if they’re big enough, lol 😂.
Cos you go brrrrrrrrrrrr
The way the person’s head is moving.
Hm, also kinda makes sense.
Ok so what is that mean? I am not familiar with the slang at all? Also I suppose I need to point out I am not native too.
The act of placing one’s head between a woman’s breasts and making the sound of a motorboat with one’s lips whilst moving the head from side to side.
Because it sounds like a motor boat.
Really? I’ve never been on a motor boat, I wouldn’t know.
At least that explains why I couldn’t find logic behind the slang.
Not really, it’s just a fun expression. Kinda sounds like a propeller in the water.
