The incorrect spelling of "je ne sais quoi", which in French literally translates to "I know not what". It is often used to describe something of an unknown yet appealing quality.
"This definition is pretty useless seeing as how it is misspelled, but it has a certain je ne sais qua (quoi) about it."

Get the je ne sais quamug. To have a certain je ne sais quoi, is to be effortlessly cool or chic without trying. It is a quality of elegance of movement and purpose, most effective and yet without apparent or visible effort, applied to any line of thought or activity. The quality makes itself visible through fashion, in the workings of one's profession, in the give-and-take of social relation, or through personal mannerisms. This quality implies lack of studied perfection - and in fact, pretense is by definition its opposite. The term 'je ne sais quoi' often refers to unstudied elegance of habit or dress, or the way in which clothing or hair naturally falls. An example from film is Johnny Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow - his dress, his movements, his manner of speech, combining imperfection and elegance - a certain je ne sais quoi unique to his character.a
She tossed her hair with a certain je ne sais quoi, laughing as she ascended the stairs leading to the ship's gate.

Get the Ne Pas Poshmug. I'll print out the springbreak party flyers so we can hand them out in the campus. I'm thinking the tagline should be "Turpes Puellae Ne Adhibete".
