He's standing at the front[1] of the queue

This item has top priority.

Get it?

I guess you'll also find these terms in text books.

[1] Yes, "head". I guess Alex Stepanov can be excused for picking this one 
"wrong". With head(), the other-end function would have had to be tail() and 
that's just wrong for a person, as he was, coming from Lisp. A list's tail is 
the rest of the list, after the head.
