deja vu

The feeling that you are doing something that you've already done before. Literal translation "already seen" (from French, deja 'already', vu 'seen'). Apparently it's due to a blip in your brain process which gives you the illusion that you've been somewhere/done something before, and technically, you have - a fraction of a second ago.

However, a common misinterpretation of deja vu is a repeat of a certain event. For example, in an episode of Garfield and Friends (US Acres) Orson perpetually removes the same book (Deja vu: the feeling that you are doing something that you've done before) from a box of books over and over again. This is NOT deja vu; rather, it's an event that doesn't have a forseeable end: an infinite loop, if you will.

If you walk into a room and immediately get the feeling that you've been there before, then that is a case of deja vu.

When i stepped out the door and looked at the sky, i immediately felt like i'd forseen this. wow, deja vu. looks like its going to be a very interesting day...

chalice

French Canadian curse word, roughly equivalent to 'dammit!' or 'shit!'

Pronunciation: ka'-lehce

Follows tabernac. French Canadian swear words are modeled after the Roman Catholic Church, as opposed to other curse words that are modeled after sexual acts or bodily functions/parts.

Don't say this around a French Canadian priest or an older person.

"ce n'est pas assez? chalice!!!"
(it's not enough? SHIT!)
