I’m not a native English speaker, but I do get most of the slangs. Still, this one got me puzzled 🤔… I really can’t see any relation to motors or boats in this.

    Really? I’ve never been on a motor boat, I wouldn’t know.

    At least that explains why I couldn’t find logic behind the slang.

      Not really, it’s just a fun expression. Kinda sounds like a propeller in the water.
