(phrase): slang for calling out someone for a fight or a brawl. Usually ends with someone dying of a heart attack.
Can be versatile, e.g., for having sex or doing something you are not prepared for, etc.
"Come out here and get your boots we if you ain't scared!"
"Hey, gettin' your boots wet with that chick tonight?"
"Heck yeah!"
"Hey man have you studied for that test yet?"
"Nah, I'm just going to get my boots wet."

literally referring to what Abraham Lincoln (read a few law books he found in a junk barrel, then became a lawyer and later President of The United States and Booker T Washington (learned to read and write as a sailor's) actually did, this term means:
to legally work, or rather legally to nigger, one's way up the social ladder of one's society in one's zeitgeist using nothing but one's own blood, sweat, toil, common sense, education and street-smarts, and not relying on your country's social assistance/welfare system (provided of course you are able bodied and not mentally ill to the point of not being able to work)
son: I don't understand how Abraham Lincoln legally achieved what he did. He was born on a bloody farm.
father: Jordan, just stop blabbering and learn the meaning of the phrase to pull yourself up by your boot straps and you'll do just as well. Now good night.

During WWII prostitutes who followed the troops around, sometimes wore army boots or combat boots. It's akin to calling some one's mother a prostitute.
"your mother wears army boots" is a vintage version og a "your momma" insult.

"to die with your boots on" means that someone died in the middle of a fight or generally in the middle of a work-process.
It originates from the late 19th century, it was used to describe that a soldier died during battle.
"Die With Your Boots On" is also an Iron Maiden song about the same topic.
Person 1: Will you ever stop this madness? You need a brake from work!
Person 2: Only one more year...
Person 1: Oh you're totally gonna die with your boots on!
