[post_page_title]”Toe the line”[/post_page_title]
First heard in the year 1813, the popular saying “toeing the line” is used to describe playing it safe and abiding by the rules. A common mistake is that the phrase is heard as “tow the line,” and is somehow connected to boats and other vehicles.
On the contrary – “the line” is, quite literally, a reference to the actual line drawn up on the track, designated for athletes to place their feet on before racing.
