I accept the correction. Anki decks are useful, but for technical material the exercises are probably even better.

But I'm afraid if you want to correct the new guy that everyone 'admires', that line goes around the block. See: the most-upvoted comments on almost all my posts.

Can someone explain this figure of speech for me?

You aren't the only one; there are many people already waiting (or attempting) to do that.

Imagine a movie theater or other venue with a very, very long line to get in, such that the line extends all the way to, and around, the nearest street-corner.
