I'm amused at the linguistic backport that just occurred here.
I’m sure they meant segue here
segue 1 of 3 imperative verb se·gue ˈse-(ˌ)gwā ˈsā- 1: proceed to what follows without pause —used as a direction in music 2: perform the music that follows like that which has preceded —used as a direction in music
No, I totally meant those little upright, lean-to go forward scooter things. 👀
Watching detective conan in america sounds expensive.
Correct. The amusing part being that "Segway" was intentionally chosen as a play on the actual word "segue". Hence the phrase "linguistic backport".
