Some people say "Whatever floats your boat."
Screw that! Screw other people's boat. I don't care what floats your boat! I want to know what floats my boat.
I mean, probably water, right? I'd suspect it would be water. But I don't know. I wish I knew.
See, the most insulting aspect of that saying is, I don't even have a boat. It's like rubbing my face in my own nonexistent boat! Who cares what floats my boat when I ain't got no boat?
My poor boat. I bet it sank.

But you're right. What the hell is is supposed to mean?
What if I like jelly?
It would not be true to suggest that my boat was floated. It would be more correct to say that my boat was sitting on top of jelly, as opposed to floating on it.
Liking roast lamb or large cacti renders the boat-floating metaphor altogether more ridiculous.
I even heard somebody say: "Whatever butters your bread!" I was like, really? What are my options?
I think the udders would filter out any actual solid bits, though. I think you'd be pretty much tin-free.
Now that I think about it, though - why would it be a specialty/gourmet item? What the heck about "goat" says "upscale"?
And yet they do seem to go in for that. I see a lot of goat dairy in those places.
