Get the bottom aids mug.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.

Get the bottom food mug.The tying of the bottom of baggy or flared jeans into what looks like a cool 'top' notch hairdo, except it's made of denim and resides towards the 'bottom' of your leg. Can work as a fantastic life and money saver: Buy those cheap unwanted giraffe length jeans, give them a jazzy Bottom Notch, look cool AND avoid tripping up into a motorway/man hole/Bermuda Triangle.
Why use that hair scrunchie for your blonde locks when you can use it to Bottom Notch those hippie jeans instead?
