"Toe the line" ---- Like soldiers lining up in formation, their toes are in line, dress-right-dress. Heil the Furher!
"Tow the line"--- means nothing like it---- means nothing really.
OK... So it's TOE the line

When they used to have a boxing or fighting match they would draw the line on the ground in the middle of the fighters and yell:
"Toe the line!"
The fighters would have to put their foot up to the line (toes on the line) to signal they were ready and in the fight.

What is this "Camel toe" I keep hearing about? "Little Toe" I understand is slang for someone with a tiny penis? Don't know why a guy would want that for a moniker, but I like LT posts and it's up to him.

I think "toe the line" also refers to what the police tell drunk drivers to do when they pull them over. The very drunk can't walk a straight line to save their lives.
Other irritating phrases: "card sharp," not "card shark." And "he/she's a real trouper," not "trooper." Of course, all of this is just between you and me (NOT "you and I").

Okay, so a "camel toe" is like what you see from the front when a female is given a wedgie.
I think Little Toe knows I was 'avin a laff on him. "My Left Foot" is one of my favorite books.
