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.

Bootstrap Capital

Also known as self-capitalization, this is how most start-ups actually capitalize themselves. Sources of bootstrap capital include: soft capital (Mom/Dad/Rich Uncle Buck), home equity loans, supplier credit, consulting, credit cards, retainers, deposits, progress payments, receivables factoring, partners, sponsorships, guarantors, pre-sales, launch clients and more. Bootstrap capital allows the ownership to keep control of their own enterprises and not lose them to VCs and other debt or equity holders.

“Two former students decide to start a home building business. They have no capital so they: 1. find a friendly landowner who allows them to set up shop in a field and pre-sell homes with no money up front to the landowner (who gets paid when the homes sell); 2. they pre-sell 10 homes and take deposits of $20,000 per home so now they have $200,000 in their bank account; 3. they get 90 and 120 day terms from their suppliers so that the suppliers also get paid when the homes sell; 4. they take their 10 Agreements of Purchase and Sale and pledge those to the Bank for a LOC (effectively borrowing their clients' credit scores). After two years, they have $800,000 in the Bank and own 100% of the business. This example demonstrates five sources of bootstrap capital: supplier credit, pre-sales, launch clients, deposits and guarantors.”

Bootstraptopia

A magical place built on the fantasies and grand delusions of Conservitards and Libertardians where equal economic opportunities abound for anyone capable of working hard enough to make their wildest dreams of unlimited wealth accumulation come true.

A place where finite resources and labor market thresholds are just liberal conspiracies that interfere with success.

Typical Liberal: "Damn, it's really hard trying to make ends meet now that I've been fired for being drunk on the job, maybe I should go on unemployment, food stamps, or government assistance forever."

Conservitard/Libertardian: "Well maybe you should get off your drunk ass and come on down to Bootstraptopia and get yourself a STEM field career you lazy entitled piece of shit!"

Alabama Bootstraps

The long, dangly, meaty labia of a female relative.

I snuck into my cousin’s room and hiked up her night gown and gave a good tugging to her Alabama bootstraps before I cornholed her.
