Listen up, buttercup. You obviously don't understand wordplay or history, which is typical for someone attempting this kind of joke. In chess, a queen is a piece, and 'towers' are also known as rooks. The first part is weak because England still has a monarch, but the second part is BASED: it darkly references the 9/11 attacks where the US lost the World Trade Center (the Twin Towers). You just compared a chess piece to thousands of casualties. You're a savage, but not a smart one.
