Thanks, **TNAIS**. Oh and I thought of another one; gortex. I had never heard of it before and thought it was made up, but now I hear it and instantly think of George’s giant jacket. ---

[QUOTE=gigi] In the past few days I’ve noticed a few: Burma/Myanmar Minsk jambalaya! (in Newman’s voice) bisque … [/QUOTE] What is the Minsk reference from Seinfeld? Whenever I hear Minsk I think of Friends, because it’s where one of Phoebe’s boyfriends (I think the one played by Hank Azaria) lived for a while. ---

[QUOTE=The New and Improved Superman] “Sad!” is what Jerry Seinfeld would occasionally exclaim when some hapless person tripped, fell or keeled over (in lieu of helping them in any way, shape or form.) [/QUOTE] That’s a shame. I’m sure you’ll figure out what Jerry really said when something unfortunate would happen to someone soon enough. ---

Not that I ever hear this, but the name of the dog that Jerry reluctantly took care of has always stuck in my mind : **Farfel**. I always thought that name would really suit a big good-natured sheepdog. ---

[QUOTE=WOOKINPANUB] Reading this is making me smile, remembering all the shows that are being referenced. A few that I’m not getting are **plantains** , **“move the . . .”** , **sad!** and **dih-DIH-dih-dih-dah.** Can someone please refresh my memory? [/QUOTE] “Move the shoes” was part of one of his intermission acts wherein he’s describing how women hold up dresses in front of them to see how they look. If men did that with suits, they would need someone to put a pair of empty shoes in front also, then they would walk with the suit and someone would move the shoes to keep up. It just stuck in my head. ---
