'Stepping up to the plate'

[Soul Finger]

f*** me, if I had a pound for every time I've heard that phrase this weekend - I've been ill and listening to the radio/watching TV the whole time - I'd be minted.

What a shit phrase.

People need a bit of sky blue thinking to come up with something different

Toeing the line would be more English.

What a great thread

" give it up " for Soul Finger


FECK OFF KIELTY

Toeing the line would be more English.

The English phrase is ... stepping up to the oche.

I will give a pound to REMF for every use of this phrase that anyone can find in the US media.

Surely to toe the line was the term used at the start of a game of fisticuffs?

I think this thread has all the bases covered, so I'll consider myself 86'd

 

[RexCathedra]

Then there's 'bellying up to the bar'.

 

[dougdeep]

Fair do's, you got that in, early doors.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Albion need to do some thinking INSIDE the box.

 

[Woodchip]

C'mon guys, it's time to raise the game. This thread is flogging a dead horse.

It's good to see that we are all singing from the same hymn sheet

 

[nail-Z]

Let's get all our ducks in a line....

Isn't "toe the line" something to do with the red line in the House Of Commons, about not drawing your sword and "overstepping the mark?"

I'm going to wash my hands of this thread, because I need a Parma ham sandwich.

Or something.
