Déjà Vu Revue
by Patrick Redding & Erin Abernethy Everyone's familiar with déjà vu, the feeling you've seen this before, and some of you may have seen the amusing lists of variants with items such as déjà doodoo (the feeling you've stepped in this before). Here are a few more... déjà clue: the nagging thought that once upon a time (but you can't remember when) you used to know what was going on déjà snooze: the feeling you've slept through this before déjà Pooh: the recognition that you've overeaten again, possibly so much that you'll get stuck in the doorway as you try to leave déjà screwed: the realization that you've just gone to work for a company even more horribly mismanaged than the one who fired you last week déjà tutu: the feeling you saw these same children galloping around onstage in tights and ruffles at last year's recital déjà moo: the feeling that the steak on your plate might be the cow you saw grazing in your neighbor's pasture last week déjà Mu: the feeling you once lived in Atlantis déjà choo-choo: the feeling you've missed this train before déjà muu-muu: the feeling you've worn this dress before and forgot just how comfortable yet hideously ugly it was the first time déjà glue: the embarrassing realization that you'll be making another trip to the emergency room to get your fingers unstuck from the Zap-a-Gap cement cap again déjà poodle: the feeling your leg's been humped like this before déjà LePew: the uneasy feeling that you've been stalked before by this same hormone-crazed French skunk déjà loo: the recognition that you've thrown up in this restroom before déjà boohoo: the feeling you've heard this sob story before déjà review: the feeling you've studied this page of exam notes before and they don't make any more sense now than they did then déjà stew: the suspicion that the contents of today's vegetable soup special might be the leftovers from last night's salad bar déjà Who: the awareness that you're watching yet another CSI spin-off with yet another theme song recycled from a certain aging British rock band déjà prude: the realization that once again you've somehow offended your oh-so-uptight significant other and won't be getting any tonight déjà news: the suspicion that nothing at all happened today and you're watching a rehash of last night's top stories © Copyright 2004-2007 Patrick Redding & Erin Abernethy |
