 Déjà Vu, literally "already seen" in French, is a sensation of having already lived through what's currently happening. In real life, it's just a regular anomaly of memory recall. In fictionland, it's a sign that something isn't quite right.
Commonly experienced by characters who are starting to realize they are part of a "Groundhog Day" Loop. Occasionally appears in Time Travel plots. Truth in Television and a source of Paranoia Fuel in Real Life. Related to A Glitch in the Matrix, Déjà Vu may be a symptom of encountering that trope. May be triggered by passing through a Door to Before. Sometimes used for an Oh, No... Not Again! gag.
An inverse phenomenon, "Jamais Vu", meaning "never seen", also exists. It is the sensation of being in a situation that you logically know you should have experienced before, yet somehow seems unfamiliar and/or novel.
If you are looking for the album, go here. If you are looking for the film, go here. If you are looking for the game, go here.

 Also, on his first day in the loop, Phil asks the same question of Mrs. Lancaster, who replies, "No, but I could check with the kitchen".

 "Groundhog Day" Loop

comment
 Last Unicorn Games' Star Trek RPG supplement All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook. When people are caught in a temporal loop (a "Groundhog Day" Loop where no one remembers that they've gone through it before), they will sometimes get a feeling of déjà vu.
