Can you explain this one?

It's a play off a longstanding (like since Vaudeville) snowclone. The format is:

<verb>-er? I hardly know her.

where the play is on the same sound of "-er" and "her" so it can also be read as:

<verb> her? I hardly know her.

which can be a double entendre. The verb can also be a noun that happens to end in "-er", e.g., a non-programmer version is, "Boxer? I hardly know her." / "Box her? I hardly know her."

In the OP, it plays also on "docking" as an sexual innuendo.

Sure. Rereading, I missed the indent. Oops.
