What does Yoked Girth mean?
As the title says.

I'm a non native speaker, English is not my first language. And I have no idea how that name could be translated, or what it is supposed to mean. It is some kind of joke about He-Man, I suppose?

Yoked is a term for "muscular" and "girth" means around the middle, as in the waist area.

Both words have other meanings as well in English, but those are the two that are most fitting for the cartoon. I have no idea if there's some kind of inside joke behind it though.

A simple explanation of "Yoked Girth" is someone immensely muscular. I believe in this game it's a joke reference to the characters in the old He-Man cartoons where every character looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime.

A Yoke is the name for the bar fastened between two animals to pull a load, most commonly cattle/oxen. Yoked would be referring to an animal in a yoke, like a yoked oxen.

Girth is the measurement around something, like a persons waist.

So yes, it's a paradoy of He-Man. He like an ox that has been yoked because he's a big muscular guy covered in straps.

In the games example, 'yoked' is a slang term referring to large muscles.
