"To (someone's) bootstraps" có từ bootstrap nghĩa là bộ phận phía sau đôi ủng giúp kéo nó lên -> cụm từ này nghĩa là hoàn toàn, triệt để, mọi phương diện.
Ví dụ
They both meet (đáp ứng) a desperate need in our community. They’re both local to their bootstraps, depending on us all to help them do their work. And without them, vulnerable mothers and babies, and troubled young men would be at immensely greater risk.
Vietnamese people, patriots (người yêu nước) all to their bootstraps, were sent over the rapidly fading old moon two nights ago after a penalty shootout against the more fancied Jordanians sent their team the furthest it has ever got in the continental competition – all the way to the quarterfinals (tứ kết).
In other instances, the colour of privilege or the privilege of colour has come under the spotlight when the DA politician Natasha Mazzone claimed that she cannot be said to have been privileged (được vinh dự, được đặc quyền) since her father was “dark” and arrived from Italy, and that he pulled himself up by his bootstraps – something many read as implying that black South Africans have not held tightly to their bootstraps as an escape route from under-privileged status.
