whatever floats your boat

A term used to say, "I'm glad that makes you happy, even though I don't get it myself."

Comes from the term "man in the boat" referring to the clitoris and the female genitalia. So, if your boat is floating, you are quite happy.

1: I love eating pigs feet, they sure are tasty.

2: That sounds nasty, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
