Passenger, often inexperienced flyers in Kettle Class, who crowd around or line up at a gate at an airport completely blocking the boarding area and preventing First and Business Class passengers from being able to get on the plane when they're allowed to. They can also cause delays and confusion if a passenger in a wheelchair needs to board as the chair has to plow through the mass of gate lice hovering around the gate.
When it's time to board, they have to be shooed from the front boarding area to the back of the line, delaying the flight for everyone.

"We should probably head to the plane early before the gate lice show up".
"I don't understand why those people were being gate lice. Don't they know Zone 4 means you board last ?"

A "tow-in gate" is an airplane gate where a tow tractor is required to pull planes to a gate before the passengers can leave the plane, usually either because the pilot can't safely maneuver to it or because the jet blast would cause a high risk to nearby equipment or personnel.

The area in an enemy's area or compound that must be infiltrated in order for victory to be achieved.
Derived from the book ender's game, where passing through the enemy's gate was the official victory ritual. Ender taught his army to orient themselves so that the enemy's gate was down.
