Is the feeling you get as though you had performed a certain action before, although you are certain that you hadn't.
People only use 34% of their brain's capacity on a daily basis. Deja vu is probably a sudden case of psycic ability for a short amount of time, therefore, making you believe that you had performed the action before you had actually done it. It's just that you had seen yourself do it a split second before you had actually done it.

Noticing something for the first time that has been there all along; the realization that you've been unaware of something you should have noticed a long time ago
1: "Hey, who installed the sattelite dish?"
2: "Bro, that thing was on the house when we moved in..."
1: "Really? Talk about vu jàdé!"

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.

A girl you'll meet in elementary school, and promptly forget about for the next 5 years until high school, at which point she will show up and blow your mind with brains and looks. You, being an idiot, still have no interest, but will proceed to become her closest friend, at which point everybody who knows you, (and I mean everybody) will start to assume you're dating. It is then you will start to take an interest, and possibly manage to snag her before you regret it.
Elementary School-
Everyone + You: Hey, that's Minh Vu, shes cool. End of story.
5 years later:
High School -
Everyone: Damn!, that's Minh Vu?!
You: I don't get it, what's so special?
Minh - proceeds to reject everyone who tries to get close 'xcept for YOU.
You: I still don't get it. (you're a little bit slow/dense)
Everyone * 1000: Are you dating Minh Vu yet?
You * 1000: w h a t? no! why would I do that?
turns around and finally takes a good look at Minh.
You: Oh, I get it now... (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
