If you really want to know.... (I thought most people wouldn't care)

It is, in fact, dutch.
P means passeren, i.e. 'pass'
V means vrijgeven or vrijmaken (I don't know exactly), i.e. 'unblock'

(I don't speak dutch, so don't blame me, if spelled wrong)

I'd use other names for boost, actually, I don't like them.
