What's the problem? Americans know what au jus is. It's
yoose guys  that are confused. This is America - we don't
speak like Canadians, or the Brits, or the Aussies. As we
all know, it is yoose peoples that are totally confused
with words.

 
Actually, you do try to speak like the rest of English
speakers. You just screw it up.

 
Shhh.  Don't tell him that "au jus" is French.   He's on a roll.
 

I have to ask... if you go to a restaurant and order their roast
beef with gravy and there is not enough of that brown coloured
sauce do you ask for "more gravy" or "more with gravy"?

 
I either say gravy, extra gravy, or gravy over everything when
ordering.

 
Of course, so why would people ask for more "with jus"?
 
 

Da Hawaiians invented gravy over everything. I have never thought to
request more gravy after I've been served.

 
Bullshit. Europeans had been slopping gravy on everything for
hundreds of years before the stone age people of the pacific had
metal pots in which to make it.

I was about to say that,  Don's family is mid-western German.  They dod
it too and long before Hawaii got it's first visit outside Polynesians.

 

I'm just not that kind of
guy. I also don't like to say "au jus" because that word has a ring
of pretentiousness. Da Hawaiians abhors putting on airs like that.
 

 
I agree that in many cases it is pretentious, but in some cases it is
appropriate because Jus is not the same as gravy. It is a lot thinner
than gravy.

Yup.  Au Jus is more related to beef broth than gravy.  I have no use
for it but others do.

 

I also don't ever get into "discussions" of words on rfc because
words mean different things in other countries and people should
make an effort to learn the ways of other peoples.
 

Yet you jumped in on this one.

David, yopu are always in on 'words'.
