"Clue me in" is the idiom. ~~Que~~ Cue is closer than queue, if you were an actor and needed a hint on where to go next.

A cue is a marker point, usually for media production. It can be used in several contexts.

Queue would be a line, more or less.

I'm being reductive, of course. Just trying to help people who are too lazy to Google or look at a dictionary.

Queue is also the playing stick used in billiards Edit: Queue

In French, yes. In English, it's a pool cue.

It probably originates from French

They should probably speak French if they're going to use the French term.
