Hey guys! Help me out, please :)

Can I say “pull my sh*t together” to mean something like “pull myself together,” “get organized,” or “start functioning properly”?

For example, if I’ve had a rough morning and I’m feeling a bit out of it, could I say I need to pull my sh*t together”?

Does that sound natural?

I agree with Daisy. Looking at Google ngrams, you can see that your suggested phrase barely exists.[Image]

Answer

In my opinion it’s more natural to say “I need to get my sh*t together”. It’s a common way of speaking but only in a very informal setting as “sh*t” is a swear word.
