      Opened the throttle

      Google...

      What does opening the throttle mean?

      The term also, by extension, usually refers to the maximum-speed state of running the engine, as the normal result of a fully opened throttle plate/butterfly valve.

          To be honest - I do that stuff. When I'm writing a comment and inspiration isn't - cough - firing on cylinders - I'll google. And if I'm really stuck I'll check reddit to get ideas. Comedy tends to be reference and brevity.
