A coin line is a line-up system used in video game arcades; it determines who gets to play next. Coin lines can usually be seen on high-demand games, such as music games (Dance Dance Revolution, beatmaniaIIDX, drummania, etc.) or fighting games. They are typically formed using coins or tokens, although some people may use cards or low-value items (such as a penny or a button); and the coins are placed on a visible part of the arcade game machine itself.
Here are some general coin line etiquette:
1) Obey the coin line! If there are 3 coins on the machine, that means 3 people are waiting in line to play. Put your coin at the end of the coin line and wait for your turn.
2) Do not take other people's coin. You will get yelled at. Also, that is called stealing.
3) Be aware of where you are in the coin line, so that when it comes to your turn, you can play immediately. If it's your turn and you're not around (i.e. you wandered elsewhere), don't be surprised to see your spot taken.
4) ONLY put one coin up at any time. You cannot put 2 coins at the end of the line to play 2 back-to-back games. It is very bad and generally looked down upon if you do that. If you want to play again, put up another coin AFTER you finished a game.
5) If you are currently playing (either just starting or in the middle of the game), DO NOT put up another coin in the coin line. ONLY put another coin in the coin line AFTER you finished your game.
6) If you finished your game and there are no coins in line, you can play again.
7) If there is a coin line, don't try to talk people into letting you go before them. They have been waiting, so can you!
The bottom line is this: If everybody obeys the coin line, then no one will play twice before anyone.
2 people are playing Dance Dance Revolution. There are 3 coins placed on the machine and several people standing around.
Bob and Sally walk into the arcade and decide to play.
Bob: Hey Sally, want to play Dance Dance Revolution?
Sally: Sure, let's go up after these 2 are done.
Bob: Wait, we can't do that! See those 3 coins on the machine? That means there are 3 people before us. We have to obey the coin line. I'll put up our coins. We'll be 4th in line.

For some unknown reason in baseball, although both are in fair territory, both the line and the pole are officially called the foul line and the foul pole. They are both absolutely in fair territory, and therefore many of my friends and myself have called the two the fair line and the fair pole for many years.
Mike's Weenie's line drive hit the fair pole, and was therefore a home run. Earlier, David DeJesus's hooking liner hit the fair line in right field and was a double.

mid to late 90s. A stolen voicemail account that had an unchangeable passcode.
mostly asian teenagers would call this voicemail access number and listen to the customized greeting from the last person who used the g-line.
greetings usually consisted of shout outs to the previous user and representing their crew.
the 90s version of a online chat room. instead of screen names, people used AKAs. wanted to see a pic of someone? using snail mail would be the normal method.
1-800 g-line numbers were discovered. again, they were stolen with a passcode that was unchangeable. this opened up a larger and more diverse audience.
the airtouch g-lines were the best ones. you could actually transfer calls to make free long distance calls (albeit illegal).
g-line greeting:
in fast beat tempo-
...yo waddup, waddup this be (your AKA) representing (your area code) part of (your crew) giving love to the previous (last persons AKA).. and then whatever else ending the message with the words "ara-ara-arato!"

The finnish line marks the point at which all the alcohol in a household has been drunk and everyone is smashed. "Crossing the finnish line" refers to the act of drinking all that's left in a house through mass partying and drinking games.
The people of Finland (the finnish) are known for being able to hold their liquor and for their mad partying skills. The finnish set the bar high when it comes to hardcore drinking, so reaching the finnish line is truly a badge of honor, particularly if it happens as a result of winning many games of beirut or beer pong in a row.
"After winning seven games of 10-cup beirut in a row, the finnish line was in sight for Mark and Janet. When they won their final game and all the beer was gone, they stepped across the finnish line and had the best drunk sex ever."
"Guy #1: How was the party at Stubby's last night?
Guy #2: Dude, it was amazing, we hit the finnish line.
Guy #1: Woah, how much did you start with?
Guy #2: Let's just say that hockey players from Helsinki would have been jealous.
Guy #1: That's fucked up."
