A term used in replacement of phrases such as "your mom" and "your face" to avoid the amount of people being put down. Goats will be offended instead.
Everyone has their own goat, goatless people have no soul.

Used instead of whatever floats your boat, whatever floats your goat, and whatever floats your waterlogged boat". A goat totally can't float, because it's waterlogged. See?
Joe: I'm gonna do an internet!
Pete: Whatever floats your waterlogged goat...
Joe: What the actual fuck?

To aggravate someone.
The saying "Get Your Goat" supposedly originated from the early horse racing days, where goats were kept with nervous race horses to keep them calm before the race, and if you wanted to beat the competition you would get their goat causing their horse to become agitated and unable to race.

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.
