Bootstrapon

A boot with a pointy foot used to kick unmotivated people in the ass to get them going.

Bob was late for work again and is hungover. Looks like I'll have to lace up the bootstrapon.

Bootstrap Bill

When you've had too much weed and you start to become part of the couch, chair or whatever you're sitting on.

Friend: Bro did you want another cone?

Me: Naah man I'm Bootstrap Billing right now.

Bootstrap Paradox

The Bootstrap Paradox is a theoretical paradox of time travel that occurs when an object or piece of information sent back in time becomes trapped within an infinite cause-effect loop in which the item no longer has a discernible point of origin, and is said to be “uncaused” or “self-created”.

A time traveller who was a big fan of Beethoven goes back in time to 18th century Germany to search for Beethoven for an autograph. Upon reaching the destination, the time traveller cannot find Beethoven anywhere, not even Beethoven's family have heard of him. Not being able to bear the thought of a world without Beethoven's music, the time traveller coincidently has all of Beethoven's sheet music, he copies it up and publishes it. The time traveller has become Beethoven and the timeline resumes as usual, this is what we call a Bootstrap Paradox.

Bootstrapping

The action of lifting yourself out of poverty through sheer skill and force of will. It is about as plausible as the name suggests.

More billionaires exist now than ever before. If we all started bootstrapping, every American could become a billionaire!

bootstrap

(v.) to cause a system (usually a computer system) to build itself; to build something complex by giving a simple instruction. From the concept of "pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps."

That virus crashed (def. 6) my Solaris box (def. 8), so I had to bootstrap it from the CD.

Bible Bootstrap

Referencing the Bible in an attempt to justify actions that are heinous and ungodly.

Amy: I just heard a politician on television say that the Bible justifies separating children from their mothers at the border. What BS!

Juan: Seriously? I bet God really hates it when people try to Bible bootstrap their own evil ideas to the good book.
