Althou that could also apply to those who renew their vows (with respect to religion)

Or when a restaurant's staff is being confused and gives you the bill several times: the French call it déjà dû.

A large Titan Arum (Corpse Flower) stands tall in a black nursery pot, surrounded by lush, colorful foliage. The central plant features a long, upright, tapered purple spadix emerging from a pale green, ribbed spathe that is currently closed around the base.

That sudden sensation that that Post-It slip will not hold on: the French call it déjà glue.

Aluminium used to build cars can now be reused to build cars. A new alloy called RidgeAlloy turns contaminated scrap into strong structural vehicle parts. This solves the problem where recycled aluminium from mixed or dirty auto scrap was too weak for structural use buff.ly/tmDSuWf
