Seinfeld-isms (glossary) for the FAQ

Howdy gang,

Inspired by both this week's "Entertainment Weekly" and several e-mail requests for clarification of items in the FAQ list, I figure it would be a handy thing to have a glossary of sorts enclosed with the FAQ. This would simply be an extension of the recent discussion of "Seinfeld-isms" from alt.tv.seinfeld.

Basically, it would be a simple compilation of terms/objects (with a *brief* definition for each) that one should be familiar with, such as:

Snapple -- Fruit beverage (local to the U.S.) popular with characters on the show.

or...

"Not that there's anything wrong with that" (aka "NTTAWWT" or "NTTA*W*WT") -- Oft-quoted refrain from "The Outing" episode where George and Jerry are accused of being gay...

Well, you get the idea.

Any memorable prop (i.e. Drake's Coffee Cakes) or infamous one-liner ("You're sooooo good looking...") that's not already explained in the FAQ would apply.

As a start, I'm thinking of the aforementioned items, plus:

CantSTANDya, Pez, Hennigan's, Master of your domain, Yo Yo Ma, These pretzels are making me thirsty, the reason george doesn't carry pencils in his pocket, Dockers, the parking garage, the chinese restaurant, Jerry's parent's fold-out bed, the Baltimore Orioles, Calvin Klein, blah, blah, blah...

Anyhoots, I'm looking for a ton of help on this, so please *post* (e-mail if you have to) some terms and definitions and I'll shove 'em in the FAQ list.

The next posting of the FAQ is Tuesday, April 13th, BTW...

"Snapple ?" "No, Thanks. Too fruity for me" BABOO Episode

How about the "You can only back in when parallel parking rule"

HAGAR

And from last night's "The Opera",

"She didn't even reach! All I wanted was a reach. Is that too much to ask?"

Hey! Snapple is ICED TEA! Only, some of the varieties have additional fruit flavorings. Chris

No, there are other flavors of Snapple besides the iced tea ones. (Grape, fruit punch, lemonade, etc.)

Well why don't you just take the one in Entertainment Weekly, then we can add on to that. It was fairly extensive. I can't think of any right off the top of my head, but seeing the ones already there may spur some ideas.

I tried to stay out of this as long as possible, but this is just getting ridiculous.... why don't we just take THE WHOLE DAMN SCRIPT FROM EVERY EPISODE EVER MADE AND STICK IN THE DAMN FAQ....

Jesus guys, let's get real here.... if someone misses a passing reference to a particular episode.... awwww... get some tapes, keep watching, sooner or later, you'll get the damn joke.....

I love Seinfeld to death, but his "glossary thread" is just totally out of control

Hmm... yes that's the DECAF over there, maybe I'll try that....

Are you sure about that, I thought it was "They're VERY refreshing". However, I could just be hallucinating.

A must-include:

"Rochelle, Rochelle": A young woman's erotic journey from Milan to Minsk.

I thought it was a "strange but erotic journey..."
