Cutting the line
Pushing in is the act of entering a queue ahead of others who were waiting first—what Americans call cutting in line.
The phrase is primarily British: There was a huge queue and someone tried pushing in at the front.
It carries a tone of social disapproval, as queue discipline is taken seriously in British culture.
