Presque vu is similar to, but distinct from, the phenomenon called tip of the tongue, a situation where someone cannot recall a familiar word or name, but with effort eventually recalls the elusive memory. In contrast, déjà vu (already seen) is a feeling that the present situation has occurred before, but the details are elusive because the situation never happened before. Presque vu (from French, meaning "almost seen") is the sensation of being on the brink of an epiphany. Often very disorienting and distracting, presque vu rarely leads to an actual breakthrough. Frequently, one experiencing presque vu will say that they have something "on the tip of my tongue". -take from wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu
