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

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

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

[-] Gordon@lemmy.world 7 points 11 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

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
