deja new
essentially the opposite of déjà vu: coming into contact with an object, having an experience or encounter, or meeting someone that feels completely “first time”, new, original — but definitely isn’t… there is some definitive proof that you have been in this situation before: others have witnessed it, or even worse, your own notes belie your having had this experience before.
somewhat akin to having “a senior moment”, or being pre-alzheimer’s, but more public, thus more embarr-ssing.
i was reading a book’s p-ssage, and was blown away by the writing and was going to write something down as a comment, then turned the page and saw i had once before already done just that, years ago. i felt a shimmering of “deja new”.
