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?

Though not an idiom, mine was thinking for years that “QFT” meant “quite fucking true”. Probably thought it for so long because it works (it means/meant “quoted for truth”–it was super common in WoW’s heyday, though I haven’t seen it in a while now).
