Baldur's Gate is a series of Role-Playing video games and the name of the first release in the series. The first game was released in 1998, and changed the RPG genre forever. Seriously, before that people thought that Diablo was an RPG. Then they realized it was just an addictive hack 'n' slash click-fest. Baldur's Gate provided not only challenging and tactically interesting combat, but also an intriguing storyline that actually places your character in the plot, which is affected by your actions and decisions. Prior to Baldur's Gate, most RPG's introduced your character like the Stranger from High Plains Drifter.
Tales of the Sword Coast was released as the expansion.
Nobody thought it could be better until Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn came out in 2000. Gameplay was even better, story just kept getting better, and the best part was everybody knew an expansion was coming.
Finally The expansion to SoA came out entitled Throne of Bhaal. It is the final installment of the series. Beating the game gives you a combination of incredible accomplishment and also terrible depression from the realization that never again will you experience an RPG like it. Now we must all make do playing it over again and fantasizing about it while playing Dragon Age.
Blizzard has yet to release Diablo 3 ten years after Diablo 2 because they want to be absolutely sure that there won't be another Baldur's Gate installment that will blow them out of the water again.
Baldur's Gate is the perfection that all other RPG's are measured against. And they all fall short. Dragon Age came close, but only close.

Passenger, often inexperienced flyers in Kettle Class, who crowd around or line up at a gate at an airport completely blocking the boarding area and preventing First and Business Class passengers from being able to get on the plane when they're allowed to. They can also cause delays and confusion if a passenger in a wheelchair needs to board as the chair has to plow through the mass of gate lice hovering around the gate.
When it's time to board, they have to be shooed from the front boarding area to the back of the line, delaying the flight for everyone.
"We should probably head to the plane early before the gate lice show up".
"I don't understand why those people were being gate lice. Don't they know Zone 4 means you board last ?"

A "tow-in gate" is an airplane gate where a tow tractor is required to pull planes to a gate before the passengers can leave the plane, usually either because the pilot can't safely maneuver to it or because the jet blast would cause a high risk to nearby equipment or personnel.
Damn it, we can't get off this plane for another hour, because we arrived at a tow-in gate!

A rural term used to label the person who opens gates on a ranch for a driver of a vehicle and closes them once said vehicle is through. Is almost always the person sitting in the front passenger seat.
