        Jour Fixe

        I don’t think they use that term in English. And even more surprising, they don’t even use it in French. It’s a French loanword that somehow only exists in German.

          Interesting, thanks for sharing. I love these linguistic quirks.

          It absolutely gets used in English speaking companies. I’ve got one in my work calendar as a reoccurring event.

            I’ve lived in the US for about half a century and have never heard this.

            Just to be sure, who created the invite? A German native speaker by chance?

            The first page of results when I deliberately google in English “what is a Jour Fixe” are the following:

            • Blog entry in English written by someone from a Liechtensteiner Organisation
            • Blog entry in English written about the German usage of the Term
            • English Wiktionary entry
            • German Wikipedia article
            • Blog entry in English written by someone from a German Organisation
            • Translation website treating it as a German term
            • Blog entry in English written by someone from Austria
            • Translation website treating it as a German term
            • Blog entry in German
            • Blog entry in German

            Some of that may be personalized to me as a Swiss user of course. But it seems a bit much to be a coincidence. Maybe it is a loan word making its way from German into English now.

              I speak a little bit of German, but no, the guy who created the series is a native English speaker with Afrikaans as his second language.
