Ironic that the word 'queue'... is just a 'q' with a bunch of silent letters waiting in a line.

As is “tea”, but the extra letters are steeping silently

I routinely mispronounce it as "kweh", like the sound that chocobos make in the Final Fantasy video games.

This is a top tier joke!

I’ve made it, I can retire now 😂

Dads around the world right now-

Indeedueue.

The wonderful world of loanwords!

Language can be a bitch.
Stutter has a bunch of Ts in the middle... Dyslexia is hard to spell.
It tough out there.

Thank you, simply thank you.

we could spell it 'queueueueue' and still pronounce it the same.

It’s like you’re calling a cat but instead it’s full of grumpy people in a line.

Incredible

Spanish for what?

The other letters can just wait their damn turn.

(:glares at you in French)

Kew yew yew

Follow! 😂

You do learn something every day! 😂

I love this! It’s like a timed-release joke grenade that keeps making me laugh! You absolutely win Bluesky today!

When I see that word, I imagine it sounding like 'qwewe'. And here's one who is clearly legging it.
