Mysterious phrase

Hi guys, Would you be so kind as to provide me with a definition (and at least one example in use, if possible) of the following expression: "whatever floats your boat"
Thanx in advance.

Khalija

"whatever floats your boat" -> "whatever interests you"

also: "whatever makes you tick"

They are all those things that you like and are interested in.

:o)

my dict says: 'whatever floats your boats' - /spoken/ used for saying that altough an idea or plan des not seem good to you, you can accept that someone else likes it.

of course 'does not seem..', my bad
