You must mean:
le mot juste
(the "v" in your "-e/ -o-/ v-s--" is a mistake.

Apparently "mot juste" is an English phrase. Is there anything left for English to pinch?

Well,the spies are still out and about......why do you think the English Language has such a rich vocabulary? C'est la vie, mon ami.

And the last time I was in Paris, someone drove in front of me and stole "mon parking" which really screwed up the beginning of "mon weekend" I'll tell you.
It seems English takes borrowings to an extreme level. French never really had words to adequately describe "weekend" (Sunday is traditionally the first day of the week in France) and "car park" (other French equivalents came later).
But in English, "mot juste" is just another redundant borrowing to print in dictionaries that is rarely used. I mean I discovered it only from a dictionary. It's hardly a neologism.
