The sentence does not make sense to me. However there is a saying which is common in English, especially with children: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me". IF someone "calls you a name" (which means, "insults you"), you can say this to them. It means, you can hurt me if you hit me with a stick, or throw a rock at me, but calling me a name has no effect. Thus, any time we see "sticks and stones", we automatically think of this saying - which I think every American person knows. I do not think it means "all"...

"Your sticks and stones fill your body and boots" is a song lyric (Katy Perry's "Part of Me"), which is a song about leaving an abusive relationship: Your sticks and stones fill your body and boots / But you're not gonna break my soul The lyric, as Andrew suggests, is part of a much older expression "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me". It's a defiant call against bullies.
