Native German speaker here. "Das Boot" means "the boat" in English. Yes, boat as in ship, floating vessel.

Your line makes no sense unless implied that you mean the English word boot, as in shoe. Now that word would be Stiefel in German ("sh-teefell).

But even if you were using the correct word Stiefel in this context, nobody would understand it, because "getting the boot" is an idiom that only Americans use. You can put it into foreign language words and it still is an American-only idiom.

I really despise this American practise of highjacking German words into nonsensical bullshit, done by show-offs who just hope that nobody's going to notice.

You've exposed yourself as an idiot. Congrats.
