- Description
-
"Segway" is a common misspelling of the word "segue," used to describe a smooth transition from one topic or section to another. While the original word comes from music and literature, the misspelling has become ubiquitous in informal digital writing due to the popularity of the motorized vehicle brand of the same name. In social media posts, it is often used when a writer feels their transition between thoughts is clunky or non-existent. Despite being technically incorrect in standard English, it is widely understood in colloquial contexts to mean a conversational bridge.

> That was a terrible segway, but anyway, let's talk about what happened at the party last night.
> I need a better segway for my video script because the jump between these two points is too jarring.
