Probably the only one I ever use is the re-gifter term. I was never a Seinfeld fan. The characters were all such small, selfish people I couldn't find them amusing.

I was working as a copy ed when the show aired its final ep and were being all secrety about it. My award-winning headline was 'Seinfeld 'hush-hush' on final 'yada-yada.'

I got an extra $50 in my paycheck for that!

My husband said something the other day and followed up with, "You know that's from Seinfeld?" I pointed out that, yes, I know Seinfeld...I just don't know it like everyone else, who seem to be able to quote every episode verbatim! I watch a show once or twice, then move on...I've never been one to watch the same stuff over and over again!

My rabbi has taught a Torah Tuesday class on Jewish messages from Seinfeld, as developed by a past student. I personally was always a little uncomfortable when there was Jewish content, since it often seemed to be mocked or played for laughs (like tricking a kosher girlfriend into eating lobster or making out by Schindler's List), though I did like the class.

Ah, this is perfection for 90s + Y. I still use this phrase so much.

And this isn't so much a made-up expression from the show, but I still get "Bosco! Bosco!" caught in my head sometimes. :)

It's amazing how influential this show was. We ALL use phrases from it, to this day. And everyone loved it. Pretty impressive.

The Costanzas were one of my favorite things about that show... George's parents screaming at each other :) And the episode where Kramer cooks a turkey in the shower!

The first Seinfeld episode I ever watched was the last episode. I never got on the Seinfeld bandwagon when the show was popular. Guess I'm somewhat like a Seinfeld character in that respect. A few years ago I started watching the reruns in syndication and now love the show. It's timeless comedy.

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr
