When one is trying to get on the good
side of someone else in order to extract a favor or other good from them. Targets of the
toe lick maneuver are commonly professors,
parents, or significant others.
"I really needed a grade
boost, so I was licking their toe pretty hard in the course evaluation."
"Not to lick your toe or anything, but your eyes are like
fucking diamonds and your
brain is magnificent. Just to be clear, not licking any toes here."
