(another Seinfeld-in-culture note to readers before you read on to more Seinfeld-isms below) Jerry was referring to the New York Marathon in the above comment to George and others at a party overlooking the race, in the episode "The Apartment." The snarky attitude toward competitive races was essentially his and Seinfeld co-creator Larry David's attitude toward the competition… Continue reading “What’s to see? A woman from Norway, a guy from Kenya, and 20,000 losers.”

Post-It type posts that usually intervene old and new Seinfeld-ism posts. Translation: I came up with something (hopefully) cool to stick out there while I get a new Seinfeld-ism done.
“Oh, it’s got caché, baby! It’s got caché up the yin-yang!”
(another Seinfeld-in-culture note to readers before you read on to more Seinfeld-isms, below) David and Victoria Beckham welcomed their fourth child recently. The child's full name? Harper Seven. Now, we don't need to read any further into the Beckhams' life to guess that some Seinfeld-ian mischief might have been at work here, courtesy of George, whose dream… Continue reading “Oh, it’s got caché, baby!

(a note to readers before you read on to the latest Seinfeld-isms below) It's been 16 years since the "Soup Nazi" joined the ranks of the Seinfeld immortals--and permanently entered our pop cultural lexicon--with lines like this one to George. The mulligatawny master's most famous line...do we even need to say it?...still resonates. So too,… Continue reading “You’re pushing your luck little man.”
“I love a good nap. Sometimes it’s the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning.”
(a monumental note to readers before you read on to more Seinfeld-isms, below) And so began the episode--aptly named "The Nap"--where George found a way to catch some much-needed Z's: under his desk at work. There's a reason we join George in this precarious, languorous spot... Today marks one year that Seinfeld-ism began in blog… Continue reading “I love a good nap. Sometimes it’s the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning.”
