Originally posted by tyrantt23 I think what you mean is... \"An intelligent phrase or action by Pres. Bush\" - This never happened before! Lol That’s funny tyrantt23 But the meaning of “Deja vous” is basically - This happened before! What word or phrase could be used for “-“ This never happened before!

Yeah, I knew that's what you meant. I just didn't really know a word/phrase for it... hmm, I just looked on an online dictionary, but the only antonym that showed for deja vu was "reality." I don't think that's the word you're trying to find though. If you ever find out, post here, cause now I'm curious too if such word exists.

Don’t think there is a word for it. Its kind of a joke that was said after someone said that it all seems like it happened before. This never happened before! Lol Must be the first time this happened!

I found three possible antonymous phrases:[list][*]jamais vu[*]vouja da[*]déjà dit[list]

I think you hit the spot Mu... I searched what Jamais Vu means, and found this very good explanation: "There is another experience worth mentioning; jamais vu. Its the opposite of deja vu. Instead of feeling extra familiar, thing seem totally unfamiliar. In this case there is too little connection between long-term memory and perceptions from the present. When a person is in this state, nothing they experience seems to have anything to do with the past. They might be talking to a person they know well and suddenly they person seems totally unfamiliar. Their sense of knowing the person, and knowing how to relate to them simply vanishes. A room in which they spend a lot of time suddenly becomes totally novel; everything seems new. Details they will have seen a thousand times suddenly become engaging." --from "Deja Vu in Spiritual and Scientific Views," (3a) vouja da has the same meaning from what I searched. As for déjà dit, all the web pages relating to that word were in French, so maybe that's how you say the opposite of deja vu in French...?
