My take - https://hexbear.net/comment/5894037

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.

Yeah, I think you're right there, it's probably just someone looking for an alternative to "full throttle"

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.
