You need to get your ass together
Posted: August 27, 2015 Filed under: ass, BODY PARTS, Uncategorized | Tags: expressions, get off your ass, get your act together, get your shit together, humor, language, malaphor, malaphors, words 1 CommentThis is a mash up of “get your act/shit together” (get organized) and “get off your ass” (stop loafing and get to work). Both idioms direct someone to get moving, invoking a congruent conflation. Also ass and act are three letter words that have a similar sound. Finally, the lower half of the body is at work here in both phrases. Many thanks to Robyn Pietrucha for blurting this one out and passing it along!
