du jour
Of the day
Du jour is French for "of the day," used in English to indicate whatever is currently featured or fashionable.
Restaurants offer a soup du jour—today's soup selection.
Extended to anything temporarily popular or trendy: the outrage du jour, the crisis du jour.
The phrase often carries a note of dismissiveness, suggesting something fleeting rather than enduring.
