“tow the line” and “toe the line”

What does it mean?

Always go with “toe the line.” No one knows where this phrase originated — maybe from runners putting their toes on their marks in a race. We should toe the line — meaning to accept or conform to a rule or standard … like using “toe” instead of “tow.”

It’s best to toe the line and do whatever your supervisor tells you.

Students who refuse to toe the line will face severe consequences.
