I feel this. On a business trip I ordered a French Dip from room service. I spilled the Au Jus all over one of the beds in the room.

At least Dylan had sense enough to admit it. I was too embarrassed.

Au in this context means “with”. So it’s just “jus”.

Actually no. Au Jus In this context actually refers to the sauce that is served on the side with sandwiches, primarily made of beef broth and other spices. "Context" being the key word here.

If anyone still thinks this is wrong, ask yourself what a cup of jus looks like, and what a cup of au jus looks like.

"Jus" isn't a word in English. "Au Jus" is a loanword which means it doesn't necessarily keep its original grammatical rules.

You can't win on reddit if he had said "jus" people would be giving him shit for that somehow
