Corruption
When I was a kid (late 50s, early 60s)in Connecticut, we called the standard playground slide the "shooty-shoot" so the shoot-the-chute expression from the TOC lingered, in corrupted form, at least until then.
Never done it in a flat bottom
I didn't know what a "Shoot-the-Chutes" ride was so had to look it up. While I've been in a few flat bottom boats I've never ridden one down a 'chute'. I have done the log ride at Disneyland - maybe that counts. Here's a video of the ride at Luna Park.
