Definition
The intense feeling of being on the very brink of a powerful insight or recollection without being able to achieve it — the 'tip of the tongue' sensation.
Etymology
From French 'presque vu' (almost seen). The third member of the 'vu' family. Your brain has the answer but WON'T give it to you. It's cognitive torture.
Kelly Says
It's RIGHT THERE! You almost HAVE it! The word, the name, the memory — it's on the tip of your tongue and your brain is TEASING you! The French called it 'almost seen' and it's the most frustrating feeling in the universe! 😤🫣
