Get your head out of your ass!

[Shenfeng]

Hi,

what's the meaning of this phrase?

From the situations in which I've heard it being used, I get a meaning like "wake up" or "open your eyes" out of it.
Can somebody support this?


Thank you.

Yes. It's rude.

It can mean "Pay attention!" or specifically "Pay attention to the real-life situation in front of you."
