Person B: You mean introverted
Person A: precisely le mot juste
Example 2 (From Frasier Season 5 Episode 8)
Frasier: Wait! Wait, my God, it's really for the sake of our future
relationships. I mean, it just, I know that you're afraid to
hurt my feelings but I can stand a little constructive

main faults?

budget.
Frasier: Fuss budget! Well, listen, if you don't mind the
substitution, I think maybe "demanding" is more the mot
juste.
