To test you if you are able to keep your mouth shut? Check Bootlegs FAQ to see if you can find a ban of anything else apart from direct linking and swapping.

Such crucial sources as the Modern Drunkard Magazineknow answers to all your questions.
"In the 17th century a bootleg described the upper part of the rather tall boots popular at the time. It was also popular (amongst English smugglers anyway) to hide bottles of untaxed booze there. The term was later affixed to the enterprising chaps who dealt in illicit alcohol during U.S. Prohibition."
