"Que" = "what" in French and Spanish. In English, it means "A half farthing" or "abbreviation for Quebec".

"Queue" = "line of waiting people or vehicles".

"Cue" = "A signal, such as a word or action, used to prompt another event in a performance, such as an actor's speech or entrance, a change in lighting, or a sound effect." or "A reminder or prompting, a hint or suggestion".

"U" does not = "you".
"UR" does not = "your" or "you're".

When you "literally" did something, it means that you actually did it. As in "It literally blew my head off". Expressions like that make me want to literally kick you in the... shins.

Oh, don't worry, there are many more where those came from.
... and that's all I have to say about that.
