White rubber boots worn by fishermen (especially shrimpers) in Southern United States. Named because of a connection to percieved gayness, they are usually required utilitarian wear. Not necessarily a derogatory term to the wearer.

1)A high quality illegal or "pirated" copy of a movie or television show.
- The typical "bootleg" of a current movie in theaters is shot with a camcorder and is of very low picture and sound quality. Most of these feature people coughing, laughing or getting up in front of the camera.
- On the other hand, true Boot-Ray discs or digital files are usually taken from DVD screeners and are of higher quality picture and sound because they are ripped from digital files.

A socio-economic theory named by the character Captain Samuel Vimes in Terry Pratchet's novel "Men at Arms." The boots theory suggests that wealthy individuals end up spending less money in the long run compared to poorer individuals due to the wealthy being able to invest in high-quality products that last for several years or more, whereas the impoverished must subsist on cheaper, low-quality versions of the same items that only last for a short period of time before needing to be replaced.
"My rich friend is able to buy a pair of boots that cost me two months' salary, and they'll last him forever. I'm stuck buying crappy knock-offs that wear out after only a few weeks. That's boots theory in practice right there."
