When you sneak up on a girl in the middle of the night and penetrate her "Hull" with your "Ice Berg", and proceed to fill her with your fluids.

Performing an action which makes an already doomed situation even worse.
Nigel: So then I let her in on the fact that I have a collection of all the vintage Star Wars action figures, in their original packaging no less.

Charlie: Man, she already thought you were a loser, by telling her that you were just bombing the Titanic.

Technology/computing-based pun: it took nearly 3 hours for the Titanic to sink on April 14th 1912 so the pun can be used when files take longer than expected to sync.

Sync is the homophone of sink.

Sync being the abbreviation for synchronization or the process of keeping dataset copies consistant between one another in a computer system/network.

Sink meaning for something to go below the surface of water.
Jacob: Wow it's taking 3 hours for my files to sync with the network when it should have only taken 1 hour!
Jillian: Well you can say it's syncing slower than the titanic.
Jacob: Ah nice computer geek pun there!

When a fat man loses a lot of weight and no longer sees the tip of the iceberg, but the entirety of it. (The iceberg being the penis in this case)
Soon after the male engages into sexual intercourse and plows a female's vagina vigorously until her hull explodes from the impact.

A common sexual position between a newly slimmed down fat man and a ready and willing female ready to release her fluids from the raw impact of the iceberg.

Penetrating her with the iceberg coincides with the iceberg penetrating the hull of the Titanic which is why this sexual position is called "Sinking the Titanic"
"Hey Paul, how was it losing all that weight?"

"Great, I was sinking the titanic with my girlfriend last night.
