Get the whatever makes you happy mug.A phrase uttered in an argument with a person who doesn’t actually want to have a discussion, but just wants to be right. This phrase is heard when Person A has said their piece and wants to end the “conversation” by telling Person B what they want to hear, that they’re right and everyone else is wrong. By stroking their ego, Person B will finally shut up and stop talking in circles. Of course, this phrase is almost always used disingenuously, so it usually just makes things worse.
"No, I know that you're wrong because of X and Y and Z. You just hate when people have different beliefs than you."
“Yup, sure. Whatever you say, man.”
“Yup, sure. Whatever you say, man.”

Get the whatever fucks your boat mug.A phrase meaning "whatever gives you sexual pleasure" or "whatever sexual activity you enjoy." It's used similarly to "whatever floats your boat," but specifically carries a knowing, often ironic, reference to sexual preferences and activities.
Originates from the excuse used by anti-gay activist George Rekers in 2010 when caught traveling with a male escort ("rent boy"). Rekers absurdly claimed he only hired the young man to literally lift his luggage.
Popularized by sex columnist Dan Savage and comedians like Stephen Colbert, who seized on the flimsy excuse. "Lifting someone's luggage" became a euphemism for providing sexual pleasure, often (but not exclusively) in a same-sex context.
The phrase "Whatever lifts your luggage" extends this to a general, sexually-tinged statement of acceptance for someone's preferences or kinks.

The phrase "Whatever lifts your luggage" extends this to a general, sexually-tinged statement of acceptance for someone's preferences or kinks.
As a general statement of acceptance (like "whatever floats your boat," but sexual):
Person A: "I don't understand their particular fetish."
Person B: "Hey, whatever lifts your luggage, right? Live and let live."
As a euphemism for the sexual act itself (often using the verb form "lift luggage"):
"He claimed he was just going over to 'study', but judging by the sounds, I think they were lifting some luggage."
"After Rekers got caught, everyone joked about whether he found someone else to lift his luggage."
With direct ironic reference to the origin:
"He spends all day condemning 'the lifestyle' online, but you just know he's secretly looking for someone to help lift his luggage."
