1. (noun) delightful or pleasing floating vessel used for transportation across water 2. (noun) exceptionally violent or gruesome act, usually stated in response to witnessing something of this nature 3. (verb) to censor something considered excessively violent, usually by replacing it with peaceful images such as nice boats The origin of this term comes from the censorship of the last episode of the animated Japanese television show "School Days". The last episode contained scenes depicting extreme violence similar to a recent murder in Japan where a teenage girl killed her father with an axe. To avoid association with the murder, many networks canceled the episode and played peaceful images instead, one of which was of a boat. This caused outrage amongst fans of the show.
