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 like my wife’s:

Crap shoot. She thought back in the day it meant a literal tube of shit. (crap chute - always bad)

Now we say crap chute if things are likely to be bad. Instead of ‘could go either way’
