bootleg
adj.— «I just checked out that Friendster website that Oz makes reference to, and I thoroughly don’t understand it. To be able to actually see other’s profiles, you have to invite people who in turn invite other people. Then to actually see anyone else other than yourself, people you invite have to acutally join the site themselves. Sorry Oz….that’s bootleg.» —“Major Bitch” by Jonathan Wonder Jonathan June 17, 2003.
