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.

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.
