Watching 'Call My Agent' (S 1 Ep 2) : A novel proposal is put to the director; a long pause, then a smile as he declares Outjet! Not knowing the meaning of that word, but understanding it signifies approval, the agents raise their glasses in a toast. Well, then... Outjet!
Being Antipodean, we toast instead Colin McCahon's 'Jet out' series and do some quick ideo-outjet drawings.

Outjet?
Watching "Call My Agent" on Netflix (French series), and there was a scene where a group was toasting and they all said "Outjet." It's spelled that way in the subtitles. Had never heard this before, and my google search is coming up blank.

Native here (Belgium/France), I have absolutely no idea what that could possibly mean. I have never heard something similar.
When we are toasting, we say "santé !", "tchin (tchin) !" or "à la vôtre !".

I came here with the same question, and I think I've figured it out. In the subtitles, the word is written in italics. Since the director's name is Gabor Rajevsky (or something) and he doesn't speak much, I'm guessing he's not French, and "outjet" is a word in his first language, which they all repeat.
