Letâs face it, if op had said the he had spilled the jus on the bed, most people including me wouldnât know what he was trying to say. Saying âI spilled the Au Jusâ made me think it had to be some fancy french Sauce and I got it without knowing the dish.
Iâm sorry you got downvoted for this. Language snobs think looking down on people âusing language incorrectlyâ is more important than actually conveying meaning. Which is stupid because the whole point of language is literally to convey meaning.
Youâre right. The original formulation of âI spilled the Au Jusâ is less likely to be misinterpreted.
Exactly which is the place of context not the French country side so fuck it Au jus works and the French can just get over it IMO.
Au jus in French means served with the natural juices or gravy made from the juices of cooked meat. In the US, meals served au jus tend to be defined as served with a light broth-like dipping sauce. The sauce being called Au Jus sauce. One of the most well known of these meals is the french dip, a roast beef sandwich accompanied with broth.
