Fans discuss whether Elaine is sexually promiscuous, citing the sponge case and Jerry's quip about sleeping with someone quickly, with mixed reactions to her character.
Today in Chicago the episode where Elaine meets a guy in a store and he promises to get Elaine a discount.
Anyway Jerry asks Elaine "Did you sleep with him yet"? Elaine replies "I just met him this morning." Jerry counters with "It's been known to happen"
And in later episodes where Elaine goes nuts and wipes her butt on the germophob's keyboard. She thinks Elaine is loose too?
So is Elaine?

Give it up? Give what up?
This is a question on the language. English is not my mother tongue, even though I know it quite well and use it frequently.
I do understand the subject here. But I don't really understand the expression "give it up" in this field.

Put out. Um, no, that's probably another American English colloquialism. Uh, er, she was named Bluebonnet because she'd spread for 70 cents. Er, no, that's from a '60s commercial on American TV. How about she has round heels (a pushover)? No, another American phrase.
Uh, lets try this: she meets a guy, she likes the guy, she doesn't feel the need to be engaged or even go out for six months before having sex with him. Or even six days...or six hours...
I hope this helps.

I thought that maybe we had met with a home made translation say from French or Japanese or whatever. It is not absolutely obvious to me where Uncle Vince is from.
Yeah I know, I just did not recognise the expression for it.
In some episode when Jerry and Elaine is talking about seduction, Elaine says something like; "We (women) play mostly defense." If that is your attitude to the whole thing then "Give Up" makes more sense.

I am from the United States. It is understood, in some areas of this country anyway, that the "it" is either sex, the vagina or the penis. It depends on who's doing the talking.
All in all, not including her on/off relationship with Puddy, Elaine didn't seem to have sex any more frequently than Jerry or Kramer. Ah, maybe she did. I don't know. Argh, I don't have a cool Seinfeld expression to end with.

How 'bout this:
She gave... IT
IT!
Up
Up!
Er
Her chastity or virtue, one presumes.

If you had something I wanted, and you didn't necessarily give that item away to anyone who asked, I might say to you, in reference to that item, "Give it up." As in, give me the item.
So Elaine has something Men want. Thus, she sometimes, "gives it up."

That's a big 10-4. She's short. She's cute. She's in demand.
Should we be talking about this?
I mean Elaine is a woman and all you horndogs are batting for the other team.
Doesn't sound fair to me. Poor Elaine. Poor Pincus!

She makes a lot of man friends. You know who's a man? Me. I'm a man.

Now she doesn't have to worry about her men being spongeworthy:

She must have other worries. At the rate she was going, she would have run out of her supply years ago. I'll bet she'd have been riding bareback for a long time now.
Elaine was ready to do Newman to get the fur coat back that she threw out the window at Joe Mayo's party.
I think that is understandable though. I mean Newmie has held down a job for several years now.

She's a slut but not that slutty. Well maybe she is because when Jerry refused her (dating the intern ) she asked "Is Kramer home".
Did Jerry mean in general, or specifically with Elaine?
Yeah, but she's been known to run for the pHisoHex at the slightest germ.
Well, perhaps if you had access to the, uh, equipment, more than, what, thirty, forty-five minutes a week?

She has actually rejected a few, including:
The guy who took "it" out The subway riding, TV guiding, manekin making guy The guy who remembered a tic tac toe outcome but not their conversation at a party The allegedly deaf co-worker The furniture mover The guy who shoved tissue up his nose during a nosebleed at the intervention Lloyd Braun Keith Hernandez Tim Whatley Jimmy Crazy Joe Davola

To follow up with a previous post and to help Lars out: in this case, "it" is the man's penis.
I saw that actor last night on an episode of "Scrubs". He played a patient that needed to have his gall bladder removed. He kept asking that sarcastic doctor and then Turk if it was necessary to have his gall bladder taken out.
She wasn't interested in Jimmy. Even if she were, Elaine probably would have bypassed a sexual siuation with him. She would have known it would be a threesome: her, Jimmy in person, and Jimmy in the third person.

I'm hip to the whole "it" thing! Like I said in my original post, I do know what the subject is.
What I found interesting, and maybe a telltale sign of cultural differences, was the "give up" angle. As if a sexual encounter between a man and a woman is something that only he wants, and she, when all hope is lost, "gives up" or somehow stops resisting.
I do not think that that would be a common attitude among americans, but maybe elsewhere.
