In English vernacular (slang), the saying, "It's Greek to me" means "I can't understand what it says" because not many of us read Greek*.
So, YOU saying "It's Greek to me" is absolutely hilarious!
The intended point of this is Biblical construction; the King James English, and a reference to a particular book, while talking about engines. Sort of like a parody.
*I did, in fact, study Ancient Greek, along with Latin, in high school. So, when in Athens, or Rhodes, or Corfu, I remember the letters, meaning that I can read signs and writing phonetically, but I really can't read for comprehension. So, yeah, even after taking Greek, it's STILL "Greek to me!"

It is like quoting a bible verse (Book name Chapter:Verse). ie John 3:16

We prefer Chinese when we'd iike to express high difficulty in understanding things.
So,what's the funny part of "compressions"?
"Compressions" sounds very much like "Colossians", a book in the New Testament. Bible references are typically cited "Book Chapter:Verse(s)", so Compressions 9:1 sounds like a good Biblical citation. As a bonus, 9:1 is a typical compression ratio for a gasoline engine.

Someone has that as their signature here.
