Resumé

Need one?
Well here, you would need a re-jus-me
Jus. As in, the posh gravy you get at nice restaurants.

I'm in the middle of refreshing mine at the moment but still get taken aback when I hear the word pronounced here.

The first time I heard it, I thought, maybe just a speech impediment? Perhaps an individual nuance? The second and third time, when it came from different people, I thought, OK there's a trend here. What is the deal with the french sound inserted in the middle of a word said with an ozzie accent?

No one knows.
