What idiom did you initially misunderstand, but you prefer your interpretation? (lemmy.world)

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?

Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist is pure genius. Yes it's dated for a low budget comedy and for its references. That only adds to its charm.

Now accept Steve Oedekerk as your Lord and Saviour or fight me. ;)
