Helllooooooooooooooo…la la la! I love that “Giddy-up” thing that Kramer does. Sometimes when my wife asks me if I feel like going out to dinner, or whatever, that’s what I say. ---

I thought it was only one suggestion per post? Some have posted multiple suggestions. "I _invented_ ‘It’s not you, it’s me’ ". “Not on my watch, buddy”. “The sea was angry that day, my friends.” The coffee table book that turns into a coffee table. “Get _outta_ here!” (Elaine’s happy cry, accompanied by hitting someone hard on the chest). “Dumper / dumpee”. ---

> [@Elendil's Heir](#): > > Remind me, please… what’s the story behind this one again? It was the episode where dentist Tim Watley converted to Judiasm, which Jerry suspected was done only so he could tell Jewish jokes. Jerry proceeded to tell dentist jokes to other people, and it eventually got back to Tim. I think it was Kramer who used the phrase “anti-dentite” to describe Jerry’s condition first. ---

Kramer: “I’m out!” The best delivery of two words in sitcom history. Elaine: He took it out! (The beginning of my favorite Seinfeld conversation) ---

I doubt this counts but “coquettish haberdasher” has got to be one of the most amusing phrases ever spoken. ---

I know the OP specified one per, but since people are posting multiples, I’m going to mention “ **Shiksa Appeal** ”, from the “Serenity Now” episode where a number of Jewish characters display attraction to Elaine Benes; George Costanza then explains this as a response to her “shiksa appeal.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-about-100-seinfeld-isms/349318.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-about-100-seinfeld-isms/349318.md?page=7)
