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’ve always interpreted “Aged like milk” to mean something was fine when it was created, but turned to trash over time through no fault of it’s own.

    My usual example is Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
