Pushing the Boat out

I heard a fun phrase aired today
I’m sure it’s been and done the rounds
But it had never come my way
I latched onto its clever sounds.

I forget the subject of the chat
But enthusiasm played a part
It flowed so nicely and off pat
That I lodged it firmly in my heart.

What was it, I can hear you say
That so attracted, I took note?
I shall not rest till I can say:
Someone or something “floats my boat”!
