Quote from: No one on June 07, 2023, 12:05:11 PMWhat do you call someone who has read 12.5% of the bible?

An eighth-thiest

A person who cannot stomach the Bible is merely a Bible-basher of sorts.

Quote from: MarcusA on June 07, 2023, 07:11:34 PMRecusant, what about a game of Tug-of-War? In that sport, you tow a line.

Yes, and a mule tows a line on a barge.
A tugboat tows a line on a ship.

The idiom "toe the line" has to do with meeting expectation, and has as its possible origin runners in a race stepping to the line to begin the race. "Tow the line," though a common error, is not only incorrect it carries a different (if perhaps adjacent) connotation.


The mast is cracking as the waves are slapping
All toe the line and tow the line lest we sink
