After spoiling tee shirt with egg, tot straightens himself out (4,2,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gets it together

'straightens himself out' is the definition.

'after spoiling tee shirt with egg tot' is the wordplay.
'after spoiling' is an anagram indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'tee'+'shirt'+'egg'+'tot'='teeshirteggtot'
'teeshirteggtot' anagrammed gives 'GETS IT TOGETHER'.
