Rocking the boat意思

"Rocking the boat" is an English idiom that means to disturb the status quo, to cause trouble or make waves, often in a situation where stability or harmony is valued above change.

This idiom is often used in contexts where people are trying to maintain the current situation, and someone's actions are seen as disruptive to that equilibrium.
