: Hello,
: I was wondering if anyone knows the roots of the phrase, lay it on the line, I was told by an academic proffesor of gender studies that it refered to the measurement of penis size in taverns during medevil times in europe, can anyone verify this? Please help?
Just my opinion.
I always thought your phrase derived from some type
of sporting event---either the starting line of a foot race or the center line
of tennis.
