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?

    Recently the lyrics just clicked for the Smiths song How Soon is Now. I thought he says “I am the sun and the air” as more of a metaphor, but he says “I am the son and the heir.”
