toe the line
"Toe the line" is an idiomatic expression meaning either to conform to a rule or standard, or to stand poised at the starting line in a footrace. Other phrases which were once used in the early 1800s and have the same meaning were toe the mark and toe the plank.
==Origins==
The expression has disputed origins. Those suggested are from public school, the armed services, or possibly the British House of Commons.
