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 black apprentice sailor) 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
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
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.

This is usually said right before a noxious cloud a rectum bile is inserted into the world as we know it (probably in Tokyo most likely) just before the victim of this bariatric monstrosity of a man-baby SHITS all over you till you disintegrate into actual dust. followed by this you transcend into a world where you meet your dead wife who was brutally stepped on buy the man-baby prior to you tasting his anal gasses that actually fucking killed you. PS sorry bro :)
Husband of wife who was stepped on: "NOOOOO! GOD! TELL HER I LOVED HER!!!"
Man-Baby: "WHY DON'T YOU TELL HER YOURSELF?!"
Fart: BRRRRFFFFFFTTT
Man-Baby: "WHY DON'T YOU TELL HER YOURSELF?!"
