To die with ones boots on OK, I have heard conflicting explanations on this one. Could anyone help me with the origins and meanings of it? I will share the views I have collected once I've seen what people here think. Cheers

Re: To die with ones boots on Oh ..
Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the nicknames
But it looks like quite a comprehensive explanation there on that thread, doesn't it? I also didn't know about this idiom, so it was useful for me too
Cheers
