English term or phrase: bottoms
Hi y'all,

In the movie BLOW, when the protagonist (a drug dealer) was explaining to his new partners about how he would smuggle drugs across the state, he said, "I put the coke (cocaine) in the false bottoms, and I take it through customs."

I was wondering if bottoms mean buttocks here, but I don't see his buttocks look bigger when he was taking the drugs through the customs. If bottoms mean trousers or short pants of pajamas, I wonder why there are false ones.

So, I have no idea now. Please help me with this. Thank you in advance.
