Hi,
I’ve read that sentence says; People who [color=red]take forever to order food while I’m in line.
What does - take forever - mean? I guess it’s what looks like :
[color=blue]in a jiffy - or - [color=blue]in no time flat. Was that correct?

hi you are right .Its like jiffy or you can say to happen very slowly. For example , In rush-hour traffic,it takes forever to get home.
“Take forever” means to take a very, very long time.
“In a jiffy”, “in no time” and “in no time flat” mean very, very quickly.
So you see that the expressions you gave are opposites.
Hey Jamie,
I supposed it was like ‘in a jiffy’ as I concluded from the sentense that I wrote from the start, which was this; [color=red]People who take forever to order food while I’m in line. But it turns that it was the opposite.
Thank you for clearing that to me.

What does I’m in line mean? And I have a sense that this sentence is not completed.
In line means in a cue.
