A local shoe-store named "The Bootery" had that effect, when I was a kid.
Somehow, "booty" in the "pirate" sense didn't have that effect. OTOH, the
title of the movie, The Body Snatcher, quickly gave birth to "the boody
snatcher" which, in turn, spawned a chasing game in which someone would
proclaim, "I'm the boody-snatcher!," and everyone else would scatter, lest
his boody be snatched - grabbed - by the boody-snatcher.
