| Text | The phrase "in this together," in this podcast, means that people are working together as part of a team, helping each other and achieving the same results: "None of us planned to be in this mess, but at least we're in this together, so let's do our best." The phrase "to get (one's) act together" means to get control of one's thoughts, words, actions, and/or life: "You're 25 years old! It's time to get your act together, get a job, and move out of your parents' house!" A "together" person is confident, competent, and well-organized: "Norah always seems like such a together person, even when she's experiencing a lot of stress." Finally, a "get-together" is an informal event or gathering: "We're having a small get-together at our house on Friday. Do you want to come?" |
