    I don’t think of a line as a rope, but a line drawn on the ground. I always imagined toe the line as someone getting closer and closer to a line, strong right next to it, and then just barely push their toes to the other side of the line.

      I use ropes at work and “line” is commonly used term for a rope or steel wire or whatever you’re hanging or pulling things with.
