Heard the saying, "don't work too hard, you might do a foofer valve". Is it just a figure of speech or is it an actual part of your body?

On nuclear submarines there are several foofer valves. I can't tell you any more because they are top secret!

The Foofer Valve is technical slang from down under.
'Foofer Valve: A highly technical description of an electrical part that is unknown (IE: It has blown a Foofer Valve).'
(Valve is another name for electron tube)
Sounds like someone is paraphrasing

Can't say I've ever heard that but there is nothing on the human body called that, so it must have been a figure of speech.
