Jamais vu
The exact opposite of deja vu.
The eerie feeling you get when you see and experience a familiar (sometimes mundane) place and/or event with a completely new perspective. Like it is all brighter and being seen, done, experienced...etc....for the very first time and it all has a very distinctive different feel. I think it literally means "never seen" in French
My French is a bit rusty

And the literal translation of deja vu is "already seen".
But the phenomena are far more detailed and intricate, than their names.

Gamut used in sentences:
".....ran the gamut from contempt to praise....."
"Richard Harris ran the gamut in the move 'A Man Called Horse'." The word above made me think of this one:
gambit (noun)
gam·bit | \ ˈgam-bət
\
Definition of gambit
1 : a chess opening in which a player risks one or more pawns or a minor piece to gain an advantage in position
2: a remark intended to start a conversation or make a telling point
(2) b : a calculated move : stratagem
I've seen both words (gamut and gambit) being used in an employee performance report, and often mixed up

An all-time favorite....
Formidable
.......in a nutshell as an adjective applied to an individual: " a person to be contended with using caution, a worthy adversary, a forceful opponent......someone not to be taken lightly, or easily dismissed.
That's how I have always known and understood the word.
(Finally getting the hang of how to access and use the copy and paste feature on this tablet. )
Now this is what Webster has to say about it :
Definition of formidable
1: causing fear, dread, or apprehension
a formidable prospect
2: having qualities that discourage approach or attack
a formidable opponent
3: tending to inspire awe or wonder : IMPRESSIVE
a formidable accomplishment

😄 I’m with you all the way on “ yummy” ...I’ve detested that word my whole life! I rarely have any reason to say “ pamper” and I don’t think I’ve ever said “ whimsical” out loud....It’s one of those words I see written, but never use myself. What’s a good substitute for “cozy” though? That’s one I might need now and then. |
