Mine is tow the line rather than toe the line.

I imagine someone as a tugboat–towing the line of what is expected. I like that imagery better than keeping a foot on some fucking line. Plus using toe as a verb is dumb.

What are yours?

    Fun fact! The blending of idioms is called a malaphor! They’re a lot more common than you’d expect and I deliberately use them because I think they’re more fun.
