I think "car booty" comes from "car boot sale", a type of "jumble sale" or "Flea market" where people buy and sell things from the back of a car.
I guess "booty call" is another boot/booty again all entirely..??
Wonder if the word 'bootlegging' is derived from this meaning of the word 'boot' too or does it have another origin - does anyone know?   |
"Booty" describes the treasures stolen by a pirate, or I think it can also mean "Buttocks" or "Butt" in the USA. In Norfolk the natives allegedly say "booty" and "bootiful", as in adverts by Bernard Matthews (a Turkey farmer)
I think your "booty callers" might be after chasing your beautiful butt in order to plunder your treasures, rather than your kinky footware.
I have no idea how a bootlegger gets his name.
PS tried to send you a clip of "Kinky Boots film - these boots were made ...." without success, but you can google it very easily!
