Cách sử dụng
"Prime the pump" is an expression used to encourage someone to invest effort or money into a situation with the expectation of creating more output or benefits in the future. The context of the phrase originated with hand-operated water pumps that required manual effort to draw water from the ground. To start pumping, the operator would need to pour some water into the pump to create pressure and allow the pump to function better. In the figurative sense, when someone says "prime the pump," it means investing time or resources to get the desired result.
