I'm editing this line that goes "VIPs get badged to the front of the line." I understand that the author is saying VIPs get to go ahead of others who have been in line earlier, but is this a standard idiom? Looked it up, found only "to get badged" in the sense of earning a badge. We're both nonnative English speakers.
Thanks,
Grace

I understand it as a slang form. It may be an ad hoc coinage there.
