Need help! - some "SLANG WORDS" from the movies

Thanx Wrinkles, given the context that's what I thought, but it's good to get confirmation from a 'native'. Any idea as to the source of the word?

Not really 100% sure... (perhaps more like 10%) but I'd take a punt (is that just an Oz expression? - take a guess) that it's something to do with "to toe the line"/stay in order. If you're considered 'toey', maybe you're looking at 'stepping over the line', keen to go.. edgey.

...but hey, that's just a stab in the dark.

Sounds good to me! Thanks Wrinkles. I'm really enjoying communicating with all of you and thanx to all for the informative interaction. So Uncle, if you don't mind me asking, are you a native Italian or an expatriate? You type English very well (suspicious look).

I can vouch for Uncle. His English has steadily improved over time. So much so, that now people give him suspicious looks

Oh my God! I remember a time in which ALL I could really do was... a kind of baby talk! But people, I'm Italian at 100%. You know, I would like to remain an "italian" guy for the rest of my life... our sexual ascendent/ability is a top notch!

I know these probably aren't very accurate, but kind of fun to look at any way. There are also lots of other on the web too, but I thought these two were best. My extensive research (3.7 minutes) had the following criteria: First site with a generator, and/or first site that listed Toeie, towy, towie etc.etc. (sp?) below are my hard earned (yea right! It's only 0800 in the am) results. The first is a fun (but limited) generator based on a cardboard thingy they sell on e-bay and such. the second is a list. Just thought I'd share (Un-like Wrinkles and his shed packed with; honey filled lesbians in pools of leather drinking beer from turbine powered ice boxes. I may have a bit of that confused, but I'm a bit upset after not getting invited to the whole shed warming party thing....... lol just jking "sniff i've got my own party to go to anyway....Ah hell who am I kidding it's just gonna be yard work followed by a beer (non turbine cooled I might add) alone with my dog" just jking again "I think any way...hell I just don't know anymore, is it Friday yet?)
