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 love mixing idioms, that one in particular is fun to use.

    I’m also a fan of “throw caution to the wolves”.
