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?

    Superstition: The phrase comes from an old European superstition (popular in Germany) that drawing an image of the devil would actually summon him or attract misfortune.
