This is the list I have so far...additions/comments are welcome I will separate them between - Fab 4 - and Others =================================================== Bubble Boy Soup Nazi Stanky Hanky The braless wonder- Sue Ellen Mischke Vegetable lasagna The unfunny comedian- Bania The drake "Crazy" Joe Davola Triangle Boy The Velvet Fog Fragile Frankie Merman Assman the Proctologist Diane "The It Girl" Deconn Slippery Pete from the Frogger Schmoopie Mulva Summer George Amigo" (the guy IN the Amigo!" -Jerry) BIFF? Or the time Kramer was hit on the head and called George and Elaine .. Mike and Carol Chesty Lerue"(Elaine) The low talker, The close talker, The high talker, The K-Man, Nip, The virgin, Stan the Caddy, Laser guy, coffee boy Silica Valley George "Bubble Boy" George "Puffball" because of his coat. Buck Naked, T-Bone, Koko mamee K-Man Lilly The first lady of the American theater" No, the Long Talker and the High Talker were two different people. The High Talker was Dan, from "The Pledge Drive." The Long Talker was the guy (forget his name) Noreen dated right after Dan, in "The Chinese Woman." Can't Stanja. There was also Black Saab Maroon Golf FDR. The Maestro. Hipster Doofus. Denim vest Pigman, Regifter and Madam (what Kramer calls George when he buys ladies frame glasses). And Elton from Jerry.

There also seems to be a confusion between what they call someone as a name and how they describe someone. For example if Elaine says "He's a Face Painter" is that different from "I went out with the face painter" There is a fine line here and history may not forgive us if we don't get this correct the first time :-)

Almost right ! In "The Doodle" when George comes into Monks totally dressed in velvet the ensuing conversation goes as follows: George: "So aahh what's with the suitcase?" Jerry: "Aaaahwww she threw me out" George: "Why?" Jerry:" I wouldn't use her toothbrush" George: "...So where will you be staying?" Jerry (pointing to George) "I guess I'm stuck with "The Velvet Fog"

Two more (both hat-related, BTW):

Jerry refers to George as "Indiana" or "Indy" when GC wears the hat he bought at a flea-market.

Elaine wore a floppy hat in the Hamptons, which made Jerry respond, "...and then there's Maude."

So do these count?

Kramer called Jerry his "little cable boy".

Kramer also called the other three Archie, Veronica and Mr. Weatherbee.

I don't think FDR belongs, that was just the guys initials.

Sidra was "Silicon Valley", not silica.

I noticed "Summer George", but not "Independant George". [email] replace EYE with I (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.) Seinfeld FAQ http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/7217/faq.html

I just watched "The Doodle " again and there's this great line where Jerry says (talking to E & G) : You know my parents are coming in and I gotta do some cleaning ... So if you and Potsie are done scheming we'll...."

and with the Drake there should be a Drakette.

Got a few more... In "The Summer of George" Jerry refers to Lanette' s(?) boyfriend as Dude a couple of times. Elaine dated "The Green Lantern" in the "The Strongbox"

independent george and relationship george were from the episode where he didn't want elaine and them hanging out with susan, because then they would merge and no longer be two different "sides" of him

You missed Shakey the Mohel and The Flincher (only mentioned once I believe); the babies father says "Well if it isn't the flincher' when he bumps into Jerry at the hospital. Funny episode that, as usual. :)

That's where I would like some guidance from this group.

For example: The Drake is clearly a nickname because he is referred to as .. the Drake.

To say someone IS a regifter is not the same as a nickname. It is a description of the person not his name.

I tried to ask this in my reference to the Face Painter...

Anyway... any comments would be appreciated before venturing forth.

I don't know if it's a nickname (regifter/degifter) but one of the things that I think is so original to Seinfeld is creating a category of people out of behavior. Someone who regifts becomes a regifter. This could be a whole list in itself. There's one I can't quite remember but I loved the way Elaine suddenly recognizes the truth of the statement and says, Yes, that's what he is. He's a --------------. As if it were a term one hears every day. I wish I had the memory for details that some of you have. cc

They have the tapes and way too much time on their hands (like that doesn't include me). Most have minds of mush from watching way too much TV. :-)

"...minds of mush..." Now there is a Seinfeld connection there. Can they find it?

Probably "He's a REAL SIDLER!". One of my favourite lines.

I think we should split the nicknames thing into actual nicknames and names the group call people by.

So "The Drake", Maestro, Shmoopie are nicknames as that is what they are known by everyone.

A Sidler, regifter, low talker, high talker, yada yada yada are names used by the group for their convenience.

I like this breakdown.  I've noticed the nicknames are usually
capitalized while lowercase is most often used for the "names they use
to separate..." no, the "words the group uses to distinguish..." no,
jeez there has to be a better way to describe this.
