A fancy word for just the right word someone is lucking for. The last t in mot and the last e in juste is not pronounced (since it is a french word (french pronunciation rules))
Example 1
Person A: At first I did not like Alex he seemed a bit unsympathetic, well not unsympatheic but not that talkative and a bit reserved, you know what I mean.
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
criticism. Now, come on, please, what do you think are my
main faults?
Daphne: Well, if I had to choose, I'd say you are a bit of a fuss
budget.
Frasier: Fuss budget! Well, listen, if you don't mind the
substitution, I think maybe "demanding" is more the mot
juste.

When a Person says "I love you" And you don't feel the same way, but don't have the heart to tell them. Or it can be used as a word for "I'm just settling for you."
"I love you!" "I just you, too."
