jump the queue

To jump the queue means to enter a queue or line at any position other than the end.

Mostly used in Britain and Australia. In the US they say 'cut in line'.

Excuse me, I'm in a bit of a hurry. Could I please jump the queue.

The Queue 

After the death of queen Elizabeth II of England a Queue across the city of London formed to see her final resting place. The Queue has been called "the Queue to end all Queues" and has reached a length of 5 miles, a subsequent "queue to join the queue" has also formed, as The Queue had to be capped by queue officials at 5 miles. A 14 hour waiting time should be expected when joining the queue.

"How do you know you are loved by the British"
"Idk"
"A 5 mile long queue to say goodbye forms across London"
"Ah, you mean, "The Queue"?"

In the queue

I'm still in the queue waiting and much like you and every other child molestation victim... I'm waiting for your God to show up and he just... Isn't... Coming... Hmmm... 🤔

Hym "It can't possibly be that it's afraid, is it? Because cowards go to hell Piers. Is that why it isn't here!? It knew I would challenge it and it knew it would be too scared so it went to hell preemptively... So I guess this ISN'T hell because then God would be here already... I'm just like you, you know, except, better and I'm just waiting for it.... Still nothing. You know what I think Piers? I think you are trying to derail my God challenge because you don't like the idea of having to worship someone like this for all of eternity... Which, YOU'RE GONNA DO EITHER WAY! RIGHT!? So you're lying and making shit up! Trying to seed in new things to my thing so you can claim moral authority you don't actually have so you can tell me that my thing doesn't work even though you have no real basis for believing that it's the case and now you've spent the last 3-4 years trying tell *MY LITERAL NAME* that I'm not *MY LITERAL NAME* right? But if it's in hell who the hell is going to be there when I die!? Am I waiting in the queue for nothing!? OH God no! Hahahahahaha!"

Stop the cap and start the queue 

An expression that means for players or team-members within a gaming lobby (most often in a voice-chat) to stop messing around/wasting time and to start the queue to get into a game.

Person 1: "Bro I swear, Naz is the cringiest bitch I know. Why do we keep playing League of Legends with her-"

Person 2: "Stop the cap and start the queue"
