the line
Where people wait
The line refers to a specific boundary, limit, or standard that shouldn't be crossed.
It implies a threshold between acceptable and unacceptable: That joke crossed the line, You have to draw the line somewhere.
The line can also mean a particular queue or formation: Get in the line, Hold the line.
In sports, the line often designates a crucial boundary: He stepped over the line before the snap.
