What does "in row" mean? For us non-English English speakers.

• danparsonson 6mo ago
  To add to the other replies, when it's an argument, it's pronounced like "how" not like "no".
  • jjk166 6mo ago
    Hence "rowdy"
    • danparsonson 6mo ago
      I never made that connection before!
• jacobtomlinson 6mo ago
  "row" means "an argument"
  • jakecraige 6mo ago
    Yeah, I think it's more of a British English thing. It can also mean things like "in a fight". Like: "those two guys had a big row outside the pub the other night"

      I always remembered it from Phantom Tollbooth "a DREADFUL Rauw"
• oa335 6mo ago
  in an argument
• bobthepanda 6mo ago
  A row in this context is like a dispute or argument
  • prewett 6mo ago
    It's also pronounced r-ow (ow, as in I hurt myself) in this context, instead of r-oh, in case that helps the OP
• e28eta 6mo ago
  “a noisy argument or fight”, from the Cambridge dictionary. I believe it’s primarily used in British English.

  "in a row"; the headline eliminated the "a" which contributes to the possible confusion.
