"A kick up the arse" = cú đá vào mông -> ý chỉ những lời chỉ trích, hành động răn đe mạnh mẽ để làm động lực thúc giục người khác làm việc.

 Ví dụ
Linzy is very capable (có năng lực), she's just too lazy. All she needs is a kick up the arse.

 The Ross v Bridges affair (sự vụ) is a kick up the arse on Chinese state influence (ảnh hưởng) in New Zealand.

Kieran called me a few weeks with the fight date and automatically it gave me the kick up the arse I needed to get motivated (có động lực) again.

A virus that caused havoc (sự tàn phá) across the globe, less because of the damage it could do to devices, but thanks the “kick up the arse” that it gave to organisations that computer security (an ninh) is actually kinda-important — mainly because the virus targeted a flaw (lỗi) that had been fixed several years earlier, and it was up to computer owners to implement (thực hiện, bổ sung) the patch (miếng vá).
