Phrase down the line
Text In this podcast, the phrase "down the line" means later, or in the future: "What do you think you'll be doing 10 years down the line?" The phrase "to toe the line" means to do what other people think one should do, even if one does not agree with it: "Do managers encourage people to express their opinions, or do they just want workers to toe the line without complaining?" The phrase "to drop a line" means to communicate with someone, especially to send an email or a letter: "Please drop us a line to let us know you've arrived safely." Finally, the phrase "don't give me that line" is a rude way to say that one does not believe what another person has said: "Don't give me that line about being sick again. You're just lazy and don't want to go to the office."
