In contrast to "turtles all the way down", an expression of the problem of infinite regress, the "bottom turtle" is the foundation upon which everything else is built.
An example from computer security:
You have some software with a secret that you need to protect, so you encrypt it. Now you have a key, which is really another kind of secret that you need to protect, so you encrypt it, and so it becomes turtles all the way down. To break this loop, we need to establish a bottom turtle. There must be a secure root of trust either in hardware or a trusted external system upon which the security of the system is built.

It’s like doggy style, except you place your partners head close to the wall or headboard and push them gently against it until their head pushes into their shoulders. Then pull them towards you and thrust into them fiercely so their heads pop out like a snapping turtle then repeat the process as necessary.
