"Your mother wears Army boots!"
That insult refers to impoverished women, refugees of war, who used to follow the WWII troops making money as prostitutes.
For practical reasons, they would wear boots so they could deal with the rough ground and mud.

Some other sites say it just means your mother is frumpy, but I think that is the G-version of the insult.
