Quoting Seinfeld in your day to day life

D oes anyone else find themsenves speaking "Sein"-language?My faves are of course yadda yadda and also,giddyup,all right sir, and these pretzels are making me thirsty.I don"t even realize I'm doing most of the time,Jery has seeped into my sub-concience.Oh well, long live reruns!

I always use "you are sooooo good-lookin'" after someone sneezes. People look at me strangely.

I'm sick..When i don't know the answer to a question someone is asking me. I swear to God that i say this all the time.

"Why does Radio Shack ask for you phone number when you buy batteries? I dont know!"

That's a shame.

Sure, I quote sometimes, but I am not a Seinfeld quoting machine. I try to work Jerry's stylings into my talk, rather than exact quotes. It's called "rubbing off", look into it.

(ahem, mi mi mi, la la la la)

Yeah! That's the ticket.

I love to use "These pretzels are making me thirsty!" as a way to let off steam or just to get attention. LOL If you're trying to get the attention of a crowd or even a single person who just won't pay attention, just scream it. Or if you're really annoyed about something. Just yell it at the top of your lungs (preferably outside). I also use "All right sir," and "You're so good-looking" when someone sneezes, if I remember. And I refer to the "matzo ball" now and again.

How exactly do you work the pretzal line into everyday convo? intriguing. Do you eat pretzals everyday? or do you only say this on the occasions when you do eat pretzals? And are they really making you thirsty? Or are you simply lying when you say it? And how exactly do you say it? which character's interpretaition of the line do you most closely mimic? Or do you have your own unique delivery? If so, what is it? I'd love to try it out.

I use it as a geneal term of frustration,and I tend to say it how Jerry says it.

In article ,

Of course, "Not that there's anything wrong with it" is almost universally applicable. Elaine's "Get out!" is fun, but only if you can get away with the requisite shove. Several times, when encountering something new and wonderful (like the new tomato cheddar & basil soup at our favorite work-lunch restaurant), I've been known to quote George's, "This is my religion!" That one really irritates my super-fundamental Christian boss, which is an added benefit.

Another good quote I use is when George is taking the Ross's to his nonexistent place in the Hamptons and he says "You wanna get nuts? LET'S GET NUTS!" Of course you've gotta say it the way George says it, or else it wouldn't be funny

I can't help myself quoting this from george when I have had trouble in doing something "The Sea was angry that day my friend" (from the marinebiologist episode) thats my 2 cents worth ConansAndy wrote in message ...

nonexistent

funny

i wish we talk english here in israel and not hebrew so we could use sentence from the show also in our day life. translate it to hebrew it's not so fun. :(

ohad.

How do you say - Not that there's anything wrong with that in Hebrew?

My husband and his brother regularly say ' If there's one thing I can't stand, it's infestation !!!!" in Mr Castanza's voice...whenever they see a fly or an ant or anything !!! Personally, I think that would be the funniest Seinfeld line ever !!! They also now call holidays 'Festiva' Tara

The Sein quotes I use in my day to day life:

"That's a shame" "Not that there's anything wrong with that" "I will not tolerate infestation" "Get out" (without the shove) "You're sooooo good lookin'" and I use George's "baby's" alot

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there are more.

You must know what I mean.

Welcome to the group, LoydM(Braun) You *must* know what I mean!

Preconceived notions? Tsk tsk. I bet you think there are trolls in here too huh?

Sure.

My own personal favorite line is simply "G-g-g". Usually uttered along with a hand gesture as I'm leaving a room.

George's father would have!

But you can still just stick it into sentences like i do. 4 example:

Me and my dad are eating in McDonald and we shared ketchup and he DOUBLE DIPPED (!!!!!) so I said "Aba, al ta-ase DOUBLE DIPPIM" which means: "Dad, don't do 'double dips'.

Ron Nehemia wrote:

My dad and I...

But what do you on passover - don't you double dip then? :-)

=

Ma nishtana halila hazeh...

i don't know about everyone else' but i don't double dip even in passover

Ohad? Where in Israel are you from? I'm from Israel too, from Nahariya!

And "Not that there's anything wrong with that" in hebrew can also be: "Lo sheyesh beze EIZESHEHI BE-AYA"...

The one I find I use the most is from the big Mexican guy that lived beside Jerry with his girlfriend. I cant remember their names right now. But he ended up in the hospital, and Jerry was fooling around with the girlfriend. Anyway.......the line is when Jerry asks the big Mexican guy how he is doing (or something to that effect) and he replies in a snide voice"Good Enough".

That is the best line.

This bass player friend of mine uses "Well if it isn't Shakey the Moile."

The one I always say is "You're Sooo Goood Looking" When someone sneezes. It tends to cause misunderstandings especially among the female persuasion.

Joe

My friends and I frequently use "Giddy up", "You're Sooo Goood Looking", and "NEWMAN!" of course that one is filled in with our friends' name

What does "you're sooo good looking come from?"

They wanted a replacement for "Bless you" after someone sneezes, so they chose that, and it was done a few times in the episode. I think that was from the episode when George commits adultery with the woman whom he said "Bless you" (or whatever) to, apparently, too early. If my memory serves, isn't that the episode where Kramer is "allergic" to Mary Hart or something?

"If I had time to sit down and write a thank-you note to everyone who sent me a nice, expensive present, what a wonderful world that would be!" -Jack Handey

We often say things like-"I saw this great fat/thin/bald/ugly/person this morning. Not that there's anything wrong with that."

Jessi Cuellar a �crit dans l'article ...

Jerry's idea was to say that instead of "God bless you" after someone sneezed.

At work we regularly let out a Krameresque "Ohhhh....YEAH!!" now and again--and of course the Ralph Kramdenesque repeating of what the other person just said that Seinfeld bastardized ("You going to dinner soon?" "OH--I'm GOIN' to dinner!")--also the Castanza first person outburst: "Tim is gettin' upset!"

TbrdsRGo "Get yer filthy paws off me you damned dirty ape!"

we like -- when something an idea doesnt quite work out -- "Thus ends the great ball-man experiment."
