    … my dumb ass thought it meant roux. And I thought that would be uncomfortable to return. Not sure I’ve ever seen it spelled before looking it up just now.

      Yeah, roux is a French word for red, either an orange-y kind of red, as in red hair, or in that case, turning to a reddish color (often through heating). That’s what happens when you heat butter (or another kind of fat) in a roux.

      I don’t think either rue or roux will be very appreciated when the lady gets back her shoe.
