In 2015, I made the New York Times for my post here on “Cheese, George! Cheeeese!“
And here we are, 10 years later, still helping people learn how to speak Seinfeld.
You can throw a rock at the pond of our culture today, make it skip, and it will still hit a Seinfeld reference every time. That ubiquitous presence of “speaking Seinfeldian” has elevated it into a sort of subset of our national language.
To compare, think of the French, German, Latin, Spanish, and Italian words, phrases, and even one-liners that have long since become a part of the English language–many of them so common to our manner of talking (and included in our dictionary), we don’t even think of their foreign origins.
For those who wish to become fluent in this vibrant, hilarious part of our language, welcome to Seinfeld 101.

Seinfeld-ism 
Love this!
Not as much as I do! 😉 Thanks, Judy…
Awesome!
Thank you. I agree: the humor of Seinfeld–and its relevance to life in general–is indeed pretty awesome. 😉
There are tons of good tv shows to choose from to say it’s the best. No matter what is said though, there is no doubt that this show ranks #1 of all of them. Yes, there are shows that are a bit older but this one still has charm. There is comedy, sex, and a little darkness, easily moving it up to the top. They just don’t make them like this nowadays.
My absolute favorite is Kramer’s- ” it’s vintage, they don’t make stuff like this anymore.”
I always have something vintage on. I use this line whenever I get a compliment. No one gets it. Sad. But you do! LOVE THIS BLOG.
