Labels: slang, vulgar Example: It ain't the meat it's the motion/That makes your daddy want to rock/It ain't the meat it's the motion/It's the movement it ain't the stock. Example: We girls know the truth in that old song “It Ain't the Meat, It's the Motion,” but no matter how confident a man is, he secretly believes that the motion just isn't enough. 2. The tools that one uses to accomplish a goal are not as important as what one does with them. Labels: broadly Example: When the engineer was asked by other clients, "Can you make the drums sound like Bonham?," he simply smiled and said, "Sure! Just play like 'im!"

But you miss the context. It's not the meat, it's the motion. It's the way they reason.
