what does vesu vesu mean? or visu visu (spelling?)?

Question

In the movie Puddle Cruiser during a mock trial grogan stands up and says vesu vesu seeming to interject but im not sure what it means is this even a real word? and what does it mean?

Answer 1

It's probably " vis-à-vis "
This is legalese, an incomprehensible type of of Latin expression-- wordy jargon we commonly associate with the way lawyers speak in court!

The U.S. Government addresses usage of words like " vis-à-vis " if you read below:

... Regarding legalese, the manual encourages writers to make a conscious effort to avoid using (1) the words "said, such, aforecited, aforementioned, aforesaid" in place of "the, this, these," (2) the superfluous word "duly," (3) the inexact words "forthwith, herewith, and/or," (4) the word "respective" when "the" suffices, (5) the dispensable word "respectively," and (6) the words "same, such" in place of "it" or "them." It points out that "hereby, herein, hereinafter, hereto, therefor, therefrom, therein, thereof, therewith, to wit, unto, vis-à-vis, viz., whereby, and wherein" are all "legal jargon that should be omitted or replaced with plain English-words in common usage."

Answer 2

I think you mean vis-a-vis.
It comes from the french, face to face

This is the generally accepted spelling:
vis-a-vis

This is a recording of how it sounds:

Where were you sitting in relation to the desk?
Where were you sitting vis-a-vis the desk?

The other possibility is
vice versa which means "with position turned", thus, "the other way around", "conversely", etc.

Serve me the big piece of pizza unless she is more hungry, in which case do it vice versa.

This is the pronunciation of vice versa
(it sounds like Vice ah verse ah)

Answer 3

it is spelled vice versa. Latin
Means that the things spoken are to be reversed, as in "I will feed the dog first and then the cat, - or maybe vice versa." It means I might feed the CAT first and then the dog.

Answer 4

It means the other way round or one reason instead of the other.
