Stupid question but...

What does WOT stand for? Everyone says it, guessing something like full throttle?

On the Zambezi (during my surveying days) we used to say to the boat driver "Enza mningy petrol madala". Basic dialogue for put shed loads of fuel through the engine old boy.

This was generally said in conjunction with the arrival of a feisty crocodile or a herd of hippo telling us politely to move on - which we did WOT.

So basically,

Nail it
Full beans
Full chat
Rag it

Cheers guys!

Apparently, the police RIB drivers in Plymouth call it "driving like it's stolen"!
