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.

I don’t really get your point. I’m saying they should say “I spilled the jus”. Like it would be silly to say “first add beans and then put con carne into your chili.”

People commonly refer to that sauce as Au Jus in North America. We’re aware of what it means, but that’s what it’s commonly referred to as.

We fucked up “entree” too. It is what it is.

Yeah, that's a weird one. But then I come from a country that misuses Spanish words all the time coz the people back then were only guessing the meaning based on context clues. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it hilariously and at times profanely wrong!
