que ominous music

Did Leonardo da Vinci possess secret knowledge of the Great Pyramid's builders which he encoded into his Vitruvian Man?!

Or y'know... they boths mathed.

Just a friendly correction: it's cue. Que is 'what' in Spanish.

alternatively "queue", when the music isn't appropriate just yet

[-] Gordon@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Wait... No? I thought standing in line was a queue and a director would give you a cue.

[-] Gordon@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Like, here's your cue to stand in queue.

You're absolutely right, a queue is a line where you wait and a FIFO data storage. I was making a pun, since both Spotify and YouTube (and likely numerous other platforms) have a "queue" for titles to play after the current one, and the verb "putting something at the end of a queue" is "to enqueue", sometimes shorted to *to queue" (which normally means to stand in line yourself, a favorite pastime of the British)

Exactly. The DJ is a native Spanish speaker and he's asking which ominous music you want him to play. /s
