Reply to comment by MaleficentPi in ELI5 Can we distill anything ? by N4rCyx

>Not knowing about a thing doesn't mean it's not a thing.

I believe you that it's a thing now, but it's just funny how offended you are when you just said it's literally only a ten year old thing, considering "moonshine" has been a thing for well over a 150.

So yes, I didn't know a bunch of corporations appropriated a pre-existing term about the same time the first Avatar came out. My bad, lol.

>And whatever you had was probably not made by a commercial distiller

Wow, how did you know!?

>Because I did have alcohol from an amateur still, fermented from whatever was available

Oh, right

Prison whiskey is not whiskey, friend.

It's sad to see someone work so hard to still show so little knowledge.

...yeah, I know, that's literally what I've been saying. It's actual bootlegged alcohol. Like, you know, traditional moonshine, not Moonshine™

Because that was the original point. That moonshine, until circa 2010 apparently, was the colloquial term (slong with hooch) for bootlegged alcohol.
