The term ‘boot’ when used with relation to a police officer typically involves a car rather than a boat. This is when someone has not paid parking fines and the police lock an anchor like thing to the car that prevents the owner from driving it until they pay their fines. I would guess that it’d be something similar with a boat.
‘Write his own ticket’ means that someone is in control of their own destiny. When it applies to research/scientific funding, that would mean the professor/researcher is able to get their own funding to study whatever they want and they don’t need to get someone else’s permission.
‘the beat goes on’ means that nothing has changed. Whatever was happening is still happening.
‘tag, you’re it’ refers back to a childhood game where a bunch of kid run around. One child is designated as ‘it’. He runs around and tries to touch another child. Once he does, that other child then becomes the ‘it’ who in turn starts chasing other kids. When referring to adults, the ‘tag, you’re it’ typically means whomever was responsible for the outcome of whatever event has passed that responsibility to someone else. It’s kind of like saying ‘okay, i have done my part. now it is your turn. ‘
‘dental plan’ is health insurance that applies to dental (teeth) work. This is normally provided by a person’s employer. If someone says they ‘didn’t like the dental plan’ that sort of means they quit their previous job for no real good reason (since dental plans are fairly generic and not that big a deal).
