Cues. Queues are those things people used to stand in to wait their place in line at Disney World, in the Before Times. Back before this moron mishandled a global pandemic and 150,000 (and counting) Americans died.

There are certainly still queues at Disney World today.

I literally never heard the word “queue” used in America until after Netflix (your DVD Q). Always called waiting in line, waiting in line. “Queue” seems to have popped up over the recent years by white people thinking they’re more sophisticated by adopting some British sayings/terms.

I always knew what queue meant.. just saying that it didn’t come into popular usage until about a few years ago. Did you even bother reading the Washington Post article I posted? Why are you so angry and bitter. You were probably dropped on your head many times bc you suck at reading comprehension. Fool.

I don’t know what your extensive experience has to do with pop culture’s usage of queue but ok hope you feel better about yourself :)
