"queuing" has several definitions, a queue can be a pigtail that asian men used to wear, it can be a short term for barbeque, it can mean waiting in line, or on the computer, a queue is the line of all the things your computer needs to load before you can view a web page. hope this helps!

Waiting patiently in line -- in the order of which you arrived -- this is called "queuing up".

New Yorkers call in "Standing on line."
Italians don't practice queuing. They believe in mobbing.

try phoning your bank or any customer service related organisation - once you get through your call will normally be "held in a queue, until the 1st available salesperson can take your call"

What Americans, more logically, call standing in line.
A long pigtail, like Chinamen used to wear, was called a queue and, as a joke a line of people was compared to it - and the name stuck
