Hello.
I want to say I'm really terrible at something or I can't do it. Can I use "can't do...to save my life"? How common is it? Do people actually say it?
Have I used it correctly and naturally in these sentences?
1. I can't wake up early to save my life.
2. I can't swim to save my life.
3. I can't learn grammar to save my life
4. I was very shy when I was in school. I couldn't make friends to save my life.
5. I really hate Indian food. I can't eat Indian food to save my life.
6. When I was in school, I couldn't cheat in exams to save my life.
