ponerse a trabajar en serio

(v.) = get on with + Posesivo + work, buckle down to, pull up + Posesivo + socks, pull + (a/Posesivo) finger out

Ex. A ward sister then arrived and gave them a telling off for not getting on with their work.

Ex. He later said that injury was 'the best thing that ever happened' to him because he finally buckled down to study.

Ex. So the Marxists will have to pull up their socks if they are to prevent the state from sliding back to the lawlessness one had seen prior to 1977.

Ex. This man isn't going to stop working, so those of you who can't work because of your 'disability' could do with pulling a finger out!.
