Default Fill your boots

Hi everybody,

Sometime ago I came across the phrase "Fill your boots", in an audio clip that someone had sent me. Listening to it, I got the impression that it meant something along the lines of - 'Grow up' or 'Get to work' (as in put on your workman's boots and get to work). I found a post on this site about it being a phrase heard at a Canadian buffet table. So, does it simply mean - 'help yourself / dig in', or could the meaning change, depending on the context in which it was used? I wanted to send you the audio clip but wasn't able to upload it.

Regards,

Benjamin
