Etymology
Unknown. Bańkowski suggests the word has origins in prison slang with an original meaning of "stolen goods", particularly watches, in reference to a criminal caught with "corpus delicti", with a semantic shift to any illicit material, and ultimately to illegal alcohol. First attested in 1937.
