Hi,

I'm just back from a night of drinking, and met some people I don't know very well (nice people, but that's beside the point). I was introduced to a word they use for one of the guys there which I find very Seinfeldian. In a spelling bee style, I shall (attempt) to use it in a Seinfeld scene. The word is "badflirt".

INT. JERRY'S APT.

Jerry is at the counter making a bowl of cereal. Elaine enters.

ELAINE Argh! I'm going to need to use your shower.

JERRY (not caring as usual) Huh?

ELAINE Oh, there's this new guy at work, he's always touchy-feely, you know. Shoulder-touching, arm-stroking, sometimes even neck rubbing!

JERRY So he's a badflirt?

ELAINE Yes, I think he's a badflirt!

Okay so the actual writers would do a much better job, but my question is, does that word sound convincing Seinfeld to you guys?

A 'cling-on' might be better.

ELAINE He just gives me the creeps you know

JERRY The creeps!

ELAINE I mean, how can he think women will fall for that, it's just pathetic

JERRY (spreads his arms) Pathetic!
