What is the 1920's slang for bootleg mean?

In the 1920s, the slang term "bootleg" referred to the illegal production and distribution of alcohol during Prohibition, when the sale of Alcoholic Beverages was banned in the United States. The term originally described the practice of hiding flasks of liquor in the legs of boots, but it evolved to encompass all forms of illicitly obtained alcohol. Bootleggers were individuals who engaged in this underground trade, often operating speakeasies or smuggling alcohol across borders.
