parenteveningqueue
/ˈpɛərəntˈiːvnɪŋˌkjuː/nounVerified NewAlso in: Elternschlange (Deutsch) · tutoríacola (Español) · créneaufile (Français)
The five-minute slot system of the parents' evening, run to a clock that only some teachers obey.
The parenteveningqueue holds its line past the over-running history slot and the over-sharing science one. Parents rehearse two questions and ask neither. The slot yields one sentence that will be quoted for the term, and the queue moves on, richer and later.
Etym. — parents' evening + queue — the timed audience of the school hall.
Rel. — reportdayweather
Novelty check: APPROVE
