Queue, the word we use to describe waiting in line, is in itself metaphoric. While a single ‘q’ would do, it was necessary to end it with an additional 4 letters that wait patiently but are not pronounced. Much like an actual queue, needlessly long and where individuals await their turn in hushed anticipation.
