The term "déjà vu" (IPA:/deʒa vy/) (French for "already seen", also called paramnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously.

It is a feeling/sensation that you have been to/or did this before.
You can't pin point how/when but it just seems that you have.
that's why when someone does something twice(like picks you up because your car broke down the second time) he says i feel like this is deja vu'

deja vu is the uncanny sensation of having been there or done that before.

it has to do with the time space continum. see...you have a "You" here and now and you have a "you" that is constantly in the time space continum. because time and space do not accually exist, when the two "yous" line up here and there. that is a de ja vu.... blessings.....
ps. im not being silly

“the remembering of scenes and events when experienced for the first time, or a feeling that one has seen or heard something before.” It is a French term and literally means "already seen.”
