The French version would be a promunciation close to 'rim rish', yes? And I guess by the time the phrase has been more absorbed into American usage, it would become colloquialised by more American prounciation, with a long /i/ sound. This is only an educated guess but we can observe a similar process with chaise longue. Where IS my OEDisk, dammit?!!
