Bootleg Turn

A defensive driving maneuver, also used as a stunt and in extreme situations where a 180-degree turn is required in very little space. Performed by driving forward, then suddenly steering left or right, rotating the car 180 degrees, then driving off in the opposite direction.

The move originated in the Prohibition era, when bootleggers would modified automobiles and created extreme driving maneuvers in an effort to outrun police.

Not to be confused with the J-turn.

bootleg intellectual

An "intellectual" whose writings are based on opinions (which any asshole could write), and not a substantial amount of scholarly research. Michael Eric Dyson's book: Is Bill Cosby Right? or has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind is a great example. What kind of title is that? He's not a scholar, he's what capitalism produces.
I'm about to get the new young jeezy, and michael eric dyson's book.
Oh yeah?, but isn't he like a scholar?
naw, man he's a bootleg intellectual.

bootleg tobacco

Cheap used tobacco harvested from cigarette buts and collected into gram bags. This tobacco is then rerolled or packed into a bowl. Bootleg tobacco is common where taxes on cigarettes are high. Bootleg tobacco can be sold at an incredibly low price ($1/gram) . Bootleg tobacco is also more potent because it is unfiltered and is often a mix of different kinds of cigarettes. Bootleg tobacco isn't a big market but costs tobacco companies thousands
Taxes were getting raised on cigarettes so every one switched to bootleg tobacco because it is cheap/ free

Guy one: dammit were out of jacks

Me: I got some bootleg
