get booted

slang To have a "boot," a large metal clamp, attached to one's tire so that their vehicle cannot be driven. Typically done by the authorities because one has parked illegally. A: "Aw man, did I seriously get booted?" B: "Dude, that sign next to your car clearly says 'No Parking.'" Are you trying to get booted? You can't park in the fire lane! Yikes, if you have that many unpaid parking tickets, I'm not surprised you got booted!
