michel123456 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) This is turning so british and out of the OP Things are worrying for Robbitybob1. Not only he typed a word he didn't know but he didn't remember it. From his info he is 61, that is early for that kind of things. So I was wondering: was there any grandchildren or nephew at home? Was that a joke? Or does anyone want to drive him crazy? Edited April 13, 2015 by michel123456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a phenomenon that's the opposite of deja vu? The feeling that you've never done what you just did? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Is there a phenomenon that's the opposite of deja vu? The feeling that you've never done what you just did? Jamais vu. In psychology, jamais vu (/ˈʒɑːmeɪ ˈvuː/; from French, meaning "never seen") is the phenomenon of experiencing a situation that one recognizes in some fashion, but that nonetheless seems very unfamiliar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamais_vu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robittybob1 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Jamais vu. Interesting and that lead to the link on presque vu or TOT. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_of_the_tongue The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon (TOT), sometimes called presque vu (French pronunciation: [pʁɛsk vy]) "almost seen", is the failure to retrieve a word from memory, combined with partial recall and the feeling that retrieval is imminent.[1] The phenomenon's name comes from the saying, "It's on the tip of my tongue." The tip of the tongue phenomenon reveals that lexical access occurs in stages. I get a often especially when I'm anxious. That is worse than jamais vu, I'd say.

That works too but usually I get the problem when I'm the center of attention and I need the word straight away. It can be really embarrassing.

It can be really embarrassing. I just laugh it off and say "I've forgotten, Alzheimer's must be setting in." We are not perfect automatons anyway so don't get hung about it. Rather than fruitlessly pursue that elusive word in mid-speech grab the first alternative that comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg H. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It's a paraphrase of a quote by Yogi Berra "It's déjà vu all over again". Berra explained that this quote originated when he witnessed Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris repeatedly hit back-to-back home runs in the Yankees' seasons in the early 1960s.[4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
