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.

I’ve heard others use “lucked out” as meaning both lucky and unlucky, but my original thought was that it was used when luck clearly wasn’t a factor. So if you intended to play the lotto and you didn’t win because you never bought a ticket I would’ve said you “lucked out”.
