Present tense, or gerund? -- IronyChef (talk) 14:52, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
I always thought the voyeur reference was to the statistical voyeurism is http://xkcd.com/563/
I don't think y is a vowel in that word. 184.66.160.91 05:17, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Y is always a vowel.76.29.225.28 15:21, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- From the grammatical point of view, “y” is a vowel. If you would look at the pronunciation point of view then even “queue” is read /kjuː/ and therefore has only one vowel. STEN (talk) 19:53, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- Depends on barely audiable differences in pronunciation (vowel in voy-eur and consonant in vo-yeur). Would have to be voy-e-yor for every writen vow to be pronounced distinct from the others, though. Equally kyu-e-oo-ee. -- 108.162.210.111 17:52, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Can't you think of some way to find out?

Y has to be a vowel here or it's not funny ~JFreund
I don't know if it's related, but 'queue' is the french word for 'tail', and it's slang for dick. Queueing sounds like 'queuter', which is slang for 'to fuck'. Bonob (talk) 14:30, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
- So THAT's why the French are lovers, not fighters! Anonymous 04:30, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
Seems to me the explanation does a pretty good job explaining. as the incomplete did not include a specific reason, I deleted it. Anonymous 06:51, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Isn't it related to the kind of long scream containing long string of vowels during climax ? 173.245.53.138 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I'm slightly worried that Cueball has a (huge) database containing data on sexual arousal and consecutive vowels, such that they can be plotted against each other.... --Pudder (talk) 15:39, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
I don't think Megan is shouting here, considering how close the two are. While I can see that the italics may imply shouting, I would instead interpret the dialogue to be whispered with intensity, so as to establish a mood. 141.101.99.5 18:39, 11 March 2015 (UTC)Now That I'm Signing Right, I Guess I'll Go Make An Account
