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.

Get the deja vu mug.There are a few situations where one could yell this phrase, but the main thing is to convey sarcasm. For example if someone you know says something that seems utterly useless in a tone where they're trying to sound like it's the news of the year (and it really isn't), then you'd say this phrase in reply. See alert the media.

Get the headsman mug.An unintended action that can either result in 1. great success or 2. colossal failure. Made popular by YTMND, it's a fad that is pretty much dead. Most epic maneuvers result in failure, and you'll be remembered for such actions.
Examples of an epic maneuver:
1. You're bowling and you throw the ball, but it results in a 7-10 split. On the next ball, through some miracle, you throw it and you manage to knock both pins over.
2. Let's say you're the QB in a football game. After the snap, when you're poised to throw, your fingers lose grip of the ball and it results in a fumble, which is recovered by the opposing team.

Get the epic maneuver mug.when this syllable is repeated, it resembles the music from the classic movie 'Psycho' when the killer stabs the woman repeatedly while she's in the shower.

2. Something my manager at McDonalds used to yell out randomly. Stands for "Hang Bag Out", a technique used in the drive-thru to reduce customer wait times. Normally you'd hang the bag(s) of food out as the person pulls up to the window so they don't have to wait forever for their order.
