It drives me crazy when people say it's deja vu all over again - deja vu MEANS all over again.

I suspect carole doesn't have the background to appreciate him. For those of you who also don't, Yogi was a NY Yankees baseball player in the '50s and '60s and eventually manager of that team, the NY Mets, and others in the '60s and '70s. A Hall of Fame honoree, he is equally well-known for his mangling of English cliches.

Don't let something so trivial bother you...there are bigger things to go crazy over. But, you've probably heard this before, so there you go. Deja Vu all over again.

If whatever it is has already repeated itself twice, that phrase does make sense. "All over again" would be an intensifier for "déjà vu".

Not that this makes a whit of difference to people who aren't using the phrase as such.

And déjà vu actually means "already seen":
J'ai déjà vu de nombreuses fois cette discussion. ;)

If someone experiences a feeling of deja vu and then experiences that feeling again... Although it probably means that they are about to have an epileptic fit as the feeling of deja vu is one of the indicators of an impending fit.

There is the less common "jamais vu" when something that should be familiar suddenly becomes unknown. Now, THAT is spooky.

Why couldn't you have a state of recurring deja vu? Deja vu is different from simple recurrence, it's the eerie feeling you get when your mind plays catch-up.

Or maybe this:

All
Again
(all over again)

All
Again
(deja vu- all over again).

Edit:Took out the snotty comment that someone spoiled by already providing that information *glare*
