    Psst..theres this giant ocean out there and inside of it there are these dots which we call continents. But you see, on these continents a lot of people speak different languages. Queue just so happens to be a common word in other parts of the world. PS> Im not surprised by your location.

    That must have taken hours to make. What a huge waste of time.

    He's not being defiant - he's being a dick.

    It seems in "louisville,KY" they think everyone on the face of the planet is American and all "spoke like we does"

    I have no idea what the Americanised alternative is, "bread line" the Mrs suggested.

    Im sorry for comming off shitty. But dot50 ive noticed using the word (queue) is starting to catch on. So stop acting like it always been said and louisville KY and america has somthing to do with it. What the hell does that even mean. Oh we are hicks? Ah i see what you did there, Hicks love to hang out on obscure retro gaming and rare video game hardware sites dont they. ;)

    It urks me ok? you are not a computer, dont talk like one.

    Huh? All the word Queue reminds me of is when you build stuff in StarCraft...are people made that americans use it instead of "wait in line" or something?

    I am deeply offended that you used the word "they", because time has proven to us that pronouns are derogatory.

    Everyone stop using pronouns for my sake, PLEASE!

    Was... well, still is, but it's now very much an "English" word... just of French origin.

    Ever since I was a kid, English people NEVER said "wait in line" but always "make a line" or "make a queue" or how about "line up" or "queue up" ? Queue is not some new word that spread from some part of the states. As GaijinPunch said it's French and has been used in British English for as long as I've been alive (31 years).

    It's safe to assume that even your forefathers heard of the expression, among other french expressions that are used.

    I don't see the big fuss in using foreign expressions, if it gets the point accross. What I do mind is using a foreign "broken" expression, like they do in Law. In Law , they use Latin expressions/words that are really ackward if you happen to know Latin. They obviously use those in an elite-tistic manner :p

    People, a queue is a line where people are, heck even the word has come into the Danish language as "kø". So what is the dillieo then ? Since a line a queue is in this thing, the same meaning. But if I have a billiard queue, and I break, then it has NOTHING to do with the line I am in. But something completely different ;-)

    Ok lines are as follows in the native language of mine.

    linie , kø , række . And that is about it, that I can remember, and what ever you are making is beyond my understanding.

    Tachikoma is living in Wales, and he is just saying where he lives in Welsh.

    Cwmbran, Cymru is where he lives. So you could always take the word, and google search it. And well, the thing is, he is just saying, that he is also supportive when it comes to Wales. And the Welsh language.
