There was a long line ahead of me

Da "ultimate" in acceptable excuses for why it took you so long to finish shopping, processing'delivering bureaucratic paperwork, or otherwise conducting routine business.

Telling your having-impatiently-waited family or car-pool buddies, "There was a long line ahead of me" may indeed get you off da hook as far as their venting their seething wrath at you, but you yourself will likely find it very stressful (not to mention tiring on your achy legs and feet!) to have to cool your heels in line for so long, and so in the end you may feel similarly weakened and emotionally exhausted as you would have if you'd had to "face the music" because you **hadn't** had any plausible excuse for producing such a lengthy delay in finishing up.

Long

(of a vowel) that is categorized as long both in quality and extent is long (e.g., in standard British English the vowel /u / in food is long compared to the short vowel /ʊ/ in good ).

A sample sentence is:
"Long vowels are typically pronounced more longly than their short equivalents, like the long vowel /i / in the word "beat" as opposed to the short vowel /ɪ/ in the word "bit."

Long Live The King

Proclaims Life to the King.

Wanna-be-kings want the Throne. Their plan? Kill the King.

But that's not how you become King. The King is King because he is chosen by his people.

That's the part they don't get.

That's why Long Live The King.

These bastards are after the King. They want the Throne. Fuck them. Long Live The King.
