Some definitions here are inaccurate. So there are two meanings:
1. An opening in chess where the person playing white sacrifices the pawn in front of their queen (their queen's pawn) to gain a positional advantage. It does NOT mean sacrificing their queen. Here is the opening in chess notation:
1. d4 d5
2. c4
When this sequence of moves has been played, you have a queen's gambit.
2. A Netflix Miniseries. (It's actually '*The* Queen's Gambit') It's about how orphan Elizabeth Harmon in 1960's America struggles with her drug and alcohol addiction and how she becomes a chess prodigy in a male dominated game. The show discusses feminism, racism and male chauvinism - but NOT in an in-your-face way. It's subtle, and isn't the core of the story. Main character actress Anya Taylor-Joy says it's about 'loneliness and the price of becoming a genius'. Not just for chess geeks. Loads of people started to play chess because of it. Great cinematography, amazing 60's vibe - and tons of nostalgic 60's music. Memorable soundtrack too. You'll feel a lot for Beth after watching. <3

a girl who, usually in a high school setting, is the "leader of the pack." she doesn't always have to be the prettiest, but she is extremely confident, and because she thinks she's hot, others do too. she knows all of the "important" gossip, and people emulate her style. if the queen bee wears something new and different, others will wear it the next day. she always has the hottest boyfriend, and is at all the parties. everyone always talks behind her back about how much they hate her, even though everyone secretly wishes they were her friend.
the queen bee and her friends all went to the halloween dance as nurses, and they came an hour late to make an entrance.

A potato queen is a gay asian male who is predominantly attracted to only gay white males. 'Potato' describes the gay white male AND his supposed primary food form. Queen describes a gay person of flamboyant nature.
This exclusivity in affection for the 'other' race is often ridiculed by other asians and deemed as betrayal or abandonement of one's own race/culture. More often that not, a potato queen is labelled so by others, not a self claim.
The 'potato queen' along with its family terms such as 'sticky rice' and 'rice queen' in itself is frowned upon today because they're viewed as stereotypes, in a gay world that has far too many already.
