whatever floats your goat

Phrase used instead of whatever floats your boat to describe that any course of action is acceptable with the person that says it. Goats are more bouyant than boats. Therefore the phrase is more flexible than boats. And better.

Person 1: I should... eat a pony. And a small child.
Person 2: Whatever floats your goat, man.
