I know it means that you're flooring it but what does it exactly mean?

Actually, contrary to popular belief, it is not an acronym.

The engineers who defined the action of flooring a vehicle believed the sound resembled this:

"WWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, WWOOOOOOOOOOT, WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOT, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, WWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOTTT" <--6-speed

This behavior is even more noticeable with the Frankencar intake.

So it was aptly named "WOT" as a result of the findings.
