Man‧uel /mænˈwel/
a character in the humorous British television programme Fawlty Towers. Manuel is a Spanish waiter who does not speak or understand much English, so he is always asking ‘Qué?’, the Spanish word for ‘What?’. People in the UK sometimes say this as a joke when they do not understand something.
