your mother wears army boots

your mother wears army boots

A humorous phrase intended as a vague insult. Once I started hearing them trade stupid insults—really eye-roll-inducing stuff like, "Your mother wears army boots!"—that was my cue to step outside for some air. A: "You're a clod!" B: "Oh yeah? Well, you're mother wears army boots!"
