You can remember this with the mnemonic that a cue file tells when each track on a CD starts, and a cue ball tells the billiard balls what order to go in the pockets, but a queue is a line of silent letters


> queue is a line of silent letters

I feel like the data structure would be a better mnemonic device on its own. There is no std::cue, there is std::queue.


Shh, don’t let the C++ committee hear you! ;)


And a Q is an omnipotent being/continuum because in the 80’s it actually was cool to have a letter for a name.
