long lines

Theme park nuisance

Long lines are queues with many people waiting, often implying frustration or delay: The long lines at the DMV took hours.

The phrase also refers to extended cables or wires, particularly in telecommunications or fishing.

In poetry and typography, long lines are verses or text that extend further across the page than typical.
