Time to pull your finger out. - a photo on Flickriver

            I have a friend that makes the most amazing "sweet and sour" pickled onions. I haven't' seen her since before the Covid "lock-down" .

As my mother used to say "it's time I got my finger out"  and make the trip to Swindon.

Historically: It's a nautical saying. When cannons were loaded a small amount of powder was poured into the ignition hole near the base of the weapon. In order to keep the powder secure before firing, a crew member pushed one of their fingers into the hole. When the time came for ignition, the crewman was told to pull his finger out

Modern usage: to start working hard, especially after a period of low activity:
