cattle chute
Narrow herding passage
A cattle chute is a narrow enclosed passage that funnels livestock single file for handling—vaccinations, branding, loading onto trucks.
The walls prevent animals from turning around or escaping.
The term extends to any crowded, constricting passage that forces people through in a line: The security checkpoint was a cattle chute of frustrated travelers.
