Experts associate the appearance of this expression with the dressing culture of our people. It is known that it was not customary to wear short-sleeved clothes before. In particular, the sleeves of Uzbek women's clothes, according to Sharia rules, are up to the place where the fingers begin. That's why, before doing any work, they rolled up the sleeves of their clothes so that they wouldn't get dirty or get in the way. For example, "Nusratilla rolled up her sleeves and reached for the soup" (Murod Mansur, "The Land of Judaism"), "Askarali's daughter-in-law rolled up her sleeves and covered the tappi" (Tahir Malik, "Devona").
But later, when the sleeves of clothes became shorter, it was no longer necessary to roll up the shirt sleeves to perform light work. As a result, the combination of yeng shimarib began to be used in a figurative sense and was phrased together with this figurative meaning. For example: Today, Saturday, I came to the editorial office early in the morning and rolled up my sleeves to work, and there was a call. (A. Meliboyev, "Forty-fifth station"). In this sentence, the phrase "roll up your sleeves" means to do something "with all your heart and soul".
