Hi Fabbers

Here's a question. Has anyone ever used the phrase 'fill yer boot's to you? It means to make the most of the opportunity, to take as much as you can etc.

But, where does the phrase come from?

Anyone know the origin of the phrase ?

Cheers

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Isn't it pirates or something? When your hands are full you use all available space for your 'booty'.*

I may have made this up.

Is that what's meant by a booty call?

At the HMS Victory museum in Portsmouth, you can buy a thick leather cup lined with pitch. This is a replica of the sailor's mug used on board in Nelson's time, and it was used (among other things) for the rum ration when issued. This cup is called a "boot", and when things were good and you got an extra rum ration, sailors were told "Fill Yer Boots"!
