PULL YOUR SOCKS UP
|
PULL YOUR SOCKS UP   Above is a Lucian Freud painting showing a near-naked man with one sock down! I’m not sure whether the phrase, 'pull your socks up', is a common phrase outside the UK. But if not, the phrase means you have to try harder as your appearance, behaviour or performance isn’t good enough. It’s very unclear where the phrase originated. Some sources suggest the phrase has military origins, whereas other sources suggest its origins stem from a man’s poor appearance or status. Whatever the phrase’s origins, it seems women are exempt from being the recipient of this phrase. No one says 'pull your stockings up'! Is the 'pull your socks up' phrase common where you are? If so, when was the last time someone told you to pull your socks up? Only yesterday my girlfriend told me to pull my socks up, so I duly did! I then told her to pull her stockings up, and she duly did!   |

When I was last visited a beach, a passer-by told me to pull my socks up and I duly did. I always pull my socks up!   [image]

yup, although I used to hear it more when I was young. here it meant get it together... that painting is quite amazing. I had to google the artist immediately. it hit me in the gut. thanks for sharing that. my grampa lollipops would say it quite often when he wanted me to be stronger or more independent. not a whiner. I wonder now if that had something to do with his English/Scottish roots. You cannot conceive the many without the one.

I have shared Lucian with a few friends now who have scoffed at me for not knowing of him before. so again dear Spunky, I thank you for giving me something so rich and yummy. You cannot conceive the many without the one.

Is the 'pull your socks up' phrase common where you are? I've heard pull yourself together, but not sox up. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

And a grandson of Sigmund to boot..... I had never seen him before, so add my name to the thank-you list! I've never heard that phrase before, now I'll have to wait for a good opportunity to use it!!

1. Rarely heard these days. More common would be: 'get yer heid oot yer arse and get on wi' it!' 2. Probably when I was in school......

Is the 'pull your socks up' phrase common where you are? Very rare indeed If so, when was the last time someone told you to pull your socks up? Early days in the military, a motivator to stop whining

Is the 'pull your socks up' phrase common where you are? I remember my grandmother using that term many years ago and a neighbor of my parents more recently who is very up in years. If so, when was the last time someone told you to pull your socks up? I don't think anyone ever used it toward me. Vive La Difference

Not so common now as it used to be over here ....I'm now more likely to hear "get your feckin act together". I probably last heard it directed at me when I was in school.  ~~Anais Nin~~

"pull your socks up" is not use in french, but we have : "i will pull your braces up" or "pull your sleeves up". What i prefer is when she "pull her panties down" Sommaire Et la souffrance vgtale L'être idéal ? Un ange dévasté par l'humour. E.M. Cioran

we don't say that here....we say instead....pull up your bootstraps! the ideology escapes me...but my conjecture is it has something to do with soldiers too! “Life is available only in the present moment.” Thich Nhat Hanh Come and read my blog! Become a watcher! veryfunnycple64

Not in use here at all and never been used on me However, I have been told that my skirt line would look more fetching if I took my panties down Lucian- what a call back to time long ago when I took art history.

I'd rather have a naughty lady pull mine down....and my socks as well  To be honest, what with having to wear compression stockings at times, they can be a pain in the arse to pull up!

Well bless your little cotton socks Hugh! I've not heard the phrase you mentioned, however, in Wales, I have heard "bless your little cotton socks". That is strictly British as well, as far as I know.
