Eugene FARINA stated that his father had told him years ago that when "The Boot" was a young man he was a "lover" and "ladies man" and spent so much of his time in a telephone booth making dates with girls that the old-time Italians referred to BOIARDO as "The Boot". According to FARINA, the old-time Italians did not pronounce the "th" on booth and it came out boot.
