What does QUEUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A line of people, vehicles or items waiting in order to be dealt with or to move forward.
A queue forms whenever more people arrive at a service point than can be handled at once, so they line up and are dealt with in the order they arrived. The word is standard in British English for what American English usually calls a line, whether at a shop till, a bus stop or a border crossing. Queue is also used in computing for a list of tasks or data waiting to be processed in turn, such as a print queue. Manners around a queue, including not pushing in, are often treated as an important point of etiquette in Britain.
