It's the two ends of your foot, and the term means putting them on differen pedals.
Actually, in practice, this isn't a good idea. It's certainly necessary in some cars with the pedals improperly positioned, but it's generally done with each side of the foot each on a different pedal.
That is, the accelerator and the brake (the left foot is reserved for the clutch).
This is essentially correct and I have been being brain dead. It happens. Especially when I've been seriously ill for an extended period. Unfortunately that happens too.
If you're heel and toe'ing without braking, which pedal are you pushing along with the accelerator?
The clutch, which is the center pedal. That also happens. I like driving old kit.
When driving fast mostly I drive clutchless though.
Legally drunk simply means you are drunk as defined by law.
This may or may not imply that you are illegally drunk, since being drunk in and of itself may not be illegal, say, if you are home in bed. Being legally drunk in public where such is against the law would make you illegally drunk and subject to arrest simply for being drunk, illegally.
If you are driving a car while you are legally drunk it is the act of driving the car that is illegal, not the being drunk, per se and the charge would be Driving While Intoxicated. Driving illegally, not illegally drunk.
You need the brake to heel and toe, or you're just rev-matching.
Rev matching is all heel and toe is. It is necessary to heel and toe in order to rev match while braking (unless you have three legs), but it is not necessary to brake in order to heel and toe.
I was thinking of the more extreme uses, like inducing oversteer on turn-in.
But this is not the reason for trail braking. Thinking of it in those terms is an error.
The primary reason for trail braking is to carry acceleration down the straight as long as possible.
The secondary reason is to keep the forces on the car smooth and balanced through the transitional periods.
Both of these can be done, and should be done, with a completely neutral car.
I'm with you. Wheel and pedals beats joystick, ummmmmmmm, hands down.
However, there are times when one might heel and toe downshift without using the brake at all. The brake is most often the reason for it, but it is not actually part of it.
I'm not at all sure why you object to trail braking on public roads either. Perhaps you have one of the common misconceptions of what that actually is.
Trail braking simply means easing off the brake while turning. In fact, it's far safer to do on public roads at road speed than it is on a track at racing speed. I highly recommend it as it keeps the car, and thus the passengers in the car, more settled than doing all the braking in a straight line and then creeping around the corner at constant speed.
Brake into, accelerate out of corners is just the way to do it. Even my Granddad in his Model T understood that.

Ewok Stew
* 1 village of ewoks
* gizzard of a chickenwalker (for flavor)
* 30 gollons of water
* 1 dash salt
* 3 tsp. pepper
Boil at 1500 degrees for 2 hours or until thick. Leaving the fur on adds extra flavor and protein, but may cause difficulty in consuming. After cooking, strain out bones. Add 1800 lbs of carrots (sliced) and 1600 lbs peas. Cook for 30 minutes on high flame or nuclear reactor. Makes about enough stew for a small New York soup kitchen on Wednesday.

Some cars don't even have a brake pedal. They have a brake lever. The current standard layout has not existed forever. It developed over time.
All sorts of older cars have all sorts of control layouts that would be considered whacky by a modern driver.

. . .nobody will ever invest the billions of dollars necessary in the sort of meaningful driver education on a skidpad and through static exercises.
It doesn't take billions of dollars. It takes three things, all available for free:
1. Some snow
2. A parking lot
3. Desire on the part of the driver to learn
I realize not every place has natural snow, but since it's 3 that is in short supply the issue is moot.
It only annoys the pig.

Who knew stress was bad for you, eh?
I once had the pleasure of having Hans Selye, the "discoverer" of stress, for a teacher.
It's interesting that while most people intuitively know that stress is bad for them most intuitively cannot identify stress when it happens to them.
Winning the lottery, for instance, is highly stressful.
