American Oxford Thesaurus

cue

cue noun the blinking blue light is my cue to lower the volume: signal, sign, indication, prompt, reminder; nod, word, gesture. USAGE cue, queue Though pronounced the same, these words have different meanings. Cue = (1 ) a signal to begin; a hint; or (2 ) a stick used in billiards, pool, or shuffleboard. Queue = (1 ) a line of people or things waiting their turn; or (2 ) a hanging braid of hair. Not surprisingly, the two are sometimes confused —e.g.: • “Like most birds, teal don't start their migration based on air temperatures, but take their queue [read cue ] to head south from the shortening hours of daylight. ” ( Times-Picayune [New Orleans ]; Sept. 25, 1994.) • “People were forced to stand in long cues [read queues ] at five emergency water stations in Amagasaki.” ( Daily Yomiuri [English language /Japan ]; Jan. 19, 1995.) To cue up a videotape, an audiotape, or a compact disc is to have it ready for playing at a particular point —e.g.: “His brother cued up the tape, the rousing theme song from ‘Rocky. ’ ( Hartford Courant; Sept. 17, 1996.) To queue up is to line up —e.g.: “Florida State students queued up for probably the most prized ticket they would ever use. ” ( Sports Illustrated; Dec. 2, 1996.) The braid of hair is spelled queue, not cue —e.g.: “Instructed by French dancing masters in the stately steps and deep curtsies of the minuet, the young men had indeed to mind their pieds (feet ) and queues (pigtails ) to keep from losing their balance or their huge wigs.” ( Press-Enterprise [Riverside, CA ]; Nov. 15, 1995.).Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage.

 

Oxford Thesaurus

cue

cue noun he looked at his watch and Sylvie knew it was a cue for her to leave: signal, sign, indication, prompt, reminder, prompting; nod, word; hint, suggestion, intimation; N. Amer. informal high sign; Physiology zeitgeber.
