Here's a response that is simply beyond refutation:
"Eleven apples in a can, make Mott's Applesauce just grand!"

Obama failed to find the mot juste when he sold the ACA to the American people.

Dear Lord, what is the mot juste
To make Obama go? just
Beam me the word
I’ll nod twice when I’ve heard
“Impeachment” would be so just

The mot juste to describe Obama would be Liar.

There are others that are mot juste but should not be used in polite company.

I was trying to think of a synonym for ‘thesaurus’ but could not come up with a mot juste.

Never have liked a mot juste; much prefer Larry’s or Curly’s justes...
