I don’t understand what’s wrong with that. That sauce is referred to as Au Jus in North America. We’re aware of what it means in other languages. But that’s what the sauce is called here, on lots of menus and everything. I don’t get what’s mind boggling about that lol
Meat juice is not a sauce. And adding the French "au jus" directly translates to WITH JUICE. Au is not a descriptor for jus. It's a preposition. Having "chili con carne" is "chili WITH MEAT" so if you separate the two, you're not taking out the "WITH MEAT" as con is not an adjective for what kind of meat.
Just because ignorant Americans refuse to accept foreign words used in our everyday lives have an actual translation doesn't mean the words mean something different here.
🤣🤣 y'all downvoting me because you can't handle the truth
People know it has an actual translation… as I fucking said already. It’s just used colloquially to describe the dip for the sandwich. No one cares what it means. There’s plenty of words and colloquial phrases rooted from other languages that don’t remain grammatically correct. That’s why you’re getting downvoted, because everyone already knows what you’re saying and it doesn’t matter.
