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.

Get the Old boot leather pulled over a mannequins head mug.The phrase "I'll pull my balls out right now" is often followed by the phrase "Trademarked By Fadi". The Second phrase is to be said softly and very fast. Almost as if to be said under one's breath.
The actual phrase is to be used when someone directly attacks or insults your intelligence or ability.

Get the WOAH CaLM DOWN JAMAL DONT PULL OUT THE 9 mug.Attempting a task that has been dumped on you by somebody who expects a miracle. Like your dumbass boss who left two hours ago and wants you to get something done in an hour that would have taken him all day to finish. A takeoff on "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!" from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons.
'The boss expects me to get all these reports done for the corporate office by tomorrow morning, I don't think I'm gonna make it.' 'Well, you know how Steve is about that. He bails and now you have to say "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my ass!" just like the other days of the week where he is working 27/4'
