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.

Get the pull yourself up by your boot strapsmug. Shut up and drink your moonshine is a retort to someone who has made a racist, redneck or bump kind of comment.
After hearing Cletus extolled the goodness of the KKK, partygoers told him "shut up and drink your moonshine!"

Get the Keep Your Head Up Princess, Your Tiara Is Fallingmug. A phrase commonly said by people (mostly Tobis) who don’t get pussy and feel like getting more money will bring them more girls

Get the Get your money up not your funny upmug. A sly way of calling a girl as perfect and graceful as a princess when cheering her up. An encouragement to just keep standing proud.
Girl: Ugh, literally nothing is going right today. I fell flat on my face in the audition, and my best friend is not talking to me anymore. I just feel so awful.
You: Oh that's awful! You deserve way better than that. Just Keep Your Head Up Princess, Your Tiara Is Falling
