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?

    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”.
