Question

Viewers discuss the wordplay in the episode where Jerry can't remember his girlfriend's name, debating the intended pronunciation and whether a particular body part rhyme works.

Just a simple question folks:

I still haven't figured out the punch-line of that Seinfeld episode where, having twice failed with "Mulva", he still can't remember his new girl-friend's name until at the very end he shouts out , " Ah... Dolores ! "

So, what part of the body is "Dolores" supposed to rhyme with ?

Thanks,

If one pronounces "clitoris" the way some people do, then it rhymes w/ Dolores. The correct way of pronouncing "clitoris" does not.

This is like how so many people have pronounced "Porsche" incorrectly that the single-syllable pronunciation of "Porsche" is now recognized, even though it is incorrect.

Well I'm stumped -- what part of the female anatomy does "Porche" rhyme with?

Please, I'm getting tired of people calling one pronunciation "wrong." According to many dictionaries they are BOTH correct.

I don't care if you think they are both correct. Whatever you want to think is just fine. This has been discussed already to its end, and if you want to start it all over again, then email me.

John, apparently, you are uneducated in the female anatomy (or you're just a moron). May I dare say... CLITORIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it is pronounced differently, but still, the joke is there..

not much of a puzzle if you think about it... Unless you think of women as some sort of Rubik's Cube... :-)
