(Idiomatic Verb Phrase)

---

[su_dropcap style=”flat”]T[/su_dropcap]his is an Idiomatic Verb Phrase which comes from the world of the performing arts:  Ballet, Theatre, Comedy, etc..  The word, “Act” in this phrase is referring specifically to one’s performance.  The Separable Phrasal-Verb, (to) “Get (something) Together”, is in-reference-to making that performance perfected and “in sync” with others involved in the performance.

[su_dropcap style=”flat”]I[/su_dropcap]f One’s “Act” is “Not Together”, then it could be said that his or her performance is not very well organized, and was performed in a sloppy or poor manner.
.

[su_dropcap style=”flat”]U[/su_dropcap]sed Idiomatically, the phrase refers to the same situation in any person’s performance – whether it be in school, work, social-life, or even in how a person takes care of him or her Self.

[su_dropcap style=”flat”]S[/su_dropcap]o, in like manner, to say that a person (usually in His or Her job, studies, way of living, or general behavior) needs, “…to get His / Her act together…”, is to say that He or She is doing a really poor job of what-ever  it is that He or She is doing – and that He or She needs to make some quick and drastic changes…(or else something “bad”, or at-least, quite un-desirable) may happen.
