I've seen written on mumsnet a fair few times something along the lines of 'My shopping trolley got stuck on the way out of the store, que loads of people getting pissed off with me'.

They mean 'cue', don't they?

Please put me out of my misery.

That is similar to Barbecue / Barbeque...

I hate hate hate Barbeque because in my mind it can never be pronounced barbecue...
