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?

      It doesn’t. It’s also relatively uncommon–most people would say “piece of shit”.

      In a vacuum it doesn’t, but the connotation of a more modern interpretation of the abbreviation would probably result in many interpreting any insistence from me as “Person of color” = “piece of crap”.
