What is the meaning of "pull over" and "sort out" ? The police signalled him to pull over. I'm sorry but it's a real mess here. I'll try to sort things out and call you back later.

Pull over: Stop your car on the side of the road. Very commonly used if the police want you to stop. Sort out: To fix something. To solve a problem.

Also: pullover, an item of knitwear worn on the upper body. It is worn by pulling it over your head (in the same manner as a tee shirt). Sort out. Perhaps your wardrobe is full and you decide to search through your clothes to discard those which you will not wear any more.
