"cue-does" for "kudos"

Showed up in a message to a list I moderate:

As well, cue-does to XXX and YYY, producers of our ZZZ contest.

I caught and edited it during the moderation phase, so it never made it to the public.

Re: "cue-does" for "kudos"

What do you think “cue-does” might mean in the writer’s mind, ciaopubs? Something to do with cue the orchestra, perhaps? I collected various versions based on “cute”, but I was never fully convinced that they weren’t just spelling mistakes of the borrowed word kudos, especially since I couldn’t find any “cute ohs”. See also the extensive discussion on the singularity of kudos here.

Cutos to anyone that has them, but in my oppinion, most are unflattering and are just a way to show rebellion.
