Trestle

Faith -- is the Pierless Bridge
Supporting what We see
Unto the Scene that We do not --
~ Emily Dickinson

A trestle is a rigid frame used as a support.  We all need support.  We don't stand alone.  We all need things to lift us up, hold us up.  But if you are in a line and that line moves really, really slowly, and if someone asks you, "What's the hold up?" they aren't really interested in all in the people and events supporting you.  They mean something else. 

And if they say, "What's the trestle?" you should let them go in front of you.  You don't want people like that behind you.  And if they say, "I have two tickets to Trestlemania," you probably just misheard them and should ask them to repeat themselves.
