At the HMS Victory museum in Portsmouth UK, you can buy a thick leather cup lined with pitch. This is a replica of the sailor's mug used on board in Nelson's time, and it was used (among other things) for the rum ration when issued. This cup is called a "boot", and when things were good and you got an extra rum ration, sailors were told "Fill Yer Boots"!
According to the urban dictionary:
1. Invite another to help themselves to their optimal capacity or
2. Attempt a difficult task or ordeal.
1. HE: Are these sweets free?
SHE: Fill your boots.
2. HE: I'm going over there to crack on to Naomi Campbell!
SHE: Fill your boots!
According to galrads: take it all in and enjoy.
Now you know why the Royal Navy won so many sea battles

I think they prohibited us from currency, so we traded in rum. Made a lot of them rich, didn't work out so great for the Aborigines.
