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

To add to the other replies, when it's an argument, it's pronounced like "how" not like "no".
Hence "rowdy"
I never made that connection before!
“a noisy argument or fight”, from the Cambridge dictionary. I believe it’s primarily used in British English.
A row in this context is like a dispute or argument
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
"in a row"; the headline eliminated the "a" which contributes to the possible confusion.
in an argument
"row" means "an argument"
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"
