As #Festivus approaches, I thought it timely to share my top 10 Seinfeldisms introduced by the greatest show about nothing our world has ever seen:
#10: Yada yada yada. Whether you’re looking for a way to make a long story short or simply gloss over tawdry details from a late night out, this phrase will have listeners appreciating your succinctness.
#9: You can stuff your sorries in a sack. When that friend’s half-hearted apology just won’t cut it, be sure to confuse them with this one.
#8: Shrinkage. When she thinks that a certain something is not all that it could be, when in fact it is all that it should be and more...you have to explain to her...the shrinkage.
#7: Worlds are colliding. When your independent life meets your significant-other life, bad things are bound to happen. A George divided against itself cannot stand.
#6: Serenity now. When you can only afford self-help psychiatry, only the best of phrases will work. But remember, serenity now / insanity later.
#5: Double-dipped. From now on, just take one dip and end it!
#4: Festivus. Feats of strength. The airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people and now you’re gonna hear about it.
#3: Not that there’s anything wrong with that. When you want to be clear about your stance on current societal issues, but you don’t want to offend either.
#2: Master of your domain. How’s your self-control? I’m sure we’ll all be comfortable within the confines of the honor system.
#1: No soup for you. Fall in line and behave or Gretzky will be denied. He suffers for his soup, so how could he expect anything less from his customers?
