Very fucking right. It's toe the line though if you're interested in improving things in a very small way.

I've heard that before, but tow the line, as in to pull something by a tether, makes contextual sense to me. Folks are doing work trying to carry that argument.

The phrase is authoritarian. As in "you'd better get your toes on the line I just drew in the dirt, or I'm gonna hang ya, boy."
