It means "your hovercraft is full of eels."

Actually, a bit of Interweb Googling says it means the following in ancient Maltese "It(she) fell, my edifice, [that] which I had been building for so long,It was not the builders’ fault, but (of) the soft clay (that lay beneath)."

I like my hovercraft translation better.

Thank you Finn.

I like your hovercraft explanation as well, more of a this is for you, this is for the horse you rode in on way of pointing out one's folly.

Even a buck toothed cretin such as myself can make the connection.

I cannot take credit for the "hovercraft full of eels." It rightly belongs to Monty Python.

This remains one of their skits that has stuck in my head for decades. Enjoy.

I'm impressed Finn, a man who humbly gives credit to those who deserve it.

Stay out of politics, they'll eat you alive!!!

Man, I miss Monty Python. Growing up with Monty Python's Flying Circus probably had much to do with my warped mind.
