Idioms – Is It Acceptable to Say ‘Fix Somebody’?

idioms

I have a problem supposed to be fixed, and I need someone to fix the problem. (Problem about my typos)

In this case, can I say “could you fix me” instead of “could you fix my writings”?

Best Answer

You might occasionally hear that said in a joking way, with roughly the meaning you intend, but it's not proper English, no. You'd ask to have something specific fixed, like writing, as in your example.

Seriously talking about "fixing someone" is usually offensive, as it implies that something is so deeply wrong with them that they're "broken" or less than human.
