March 8, 20206 yr I think we should sincerely congratulate Ron Attwood for starting this truly unique topic.

However if we were to assume the word "toe" rather than "tow" is the correct word to use in the phrase "toe the line", then I would sometimes literally use my toe (if I was lining up to a position on a stage, say), sometimes figuratively (if I was behaving as expected by law or following a set of rules). https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/toe-the-line.html Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

Forgive my ignorance, but is a toehead necessarily a person with receding hareline? 47 minutes ago, charliearon said: I'd wear Depends if I wanted to look incontinent! Depends on where you wear them. I particularly enjoy the product reviews on Amazon. The technical German term for a review is "Rezension". But many people insist on "entering their first recession" ("Rezession").
