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?

I don’t necessarily think it is regional. I think it’s contextual. Within the party someone might be told “we need you to toe the line” if that person has been known to go rogue. It depends on what the line being toed is and the speakers thoughts on that line.
