tegwini Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Clever Cat for finding it!Sounds appropriate to me, memory a bit 'iffy'* these days, and dredging into the murky recesses of the brain for something almost seen sounds about right for me. Sad if the Telegraph got it wrong too. But I bow to Clair's superior knowledge & would not risk using it and sounding like a Wolly!RegardsTegwini* typical Wiltshire/SW expression!!

Weegie Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deja_vu Reading the item here (it's down the page a bit) suggests that "presque vu" is not the same as the idiom "sur le bout de la langue". It appears to be, for want of a better description, a state of mind rather than the searching for an elusive word which the latter conveys. A sensation or feeling that there is going to be a change of state. The use of the word "epiphany" is interesting.There's a nice description here:http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A675308 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
