Seinfeld: Classic or Dud

its just a comical misunderstanding

Oh god I thought our Hannah was joking about her being called 7???

Ohhh really? Seven?!

harper seven

Hannah told me first thing this morning when I was half asleep and I thought the kid was called Harper and was 7 pounds something

Would've preferred Mug Beckham tbh

Missed a chance to go with Mulva imo

^^^I always found it curious that Jerry never considered "Regina" as a plausible name in that episode

Posh and Becks were beaten to the name by Andre 3000 and Erykah Badu, anyway.

god dammit Myonga i've wondered for years what the actual name was but i think you've cracked it

i think the actual name was 'dolores'

Yeah, I was gonna say.

don't remember that bit

does that rhyme in a New York accent?

it rhymes when i say it in my head?!

its the tag to that episode fwiw - he sticks his head out of his window and sorta ruefully shouts 'DOLORES!' at her after shes presumably stormed out

oh god yeah now i remember

iirc they never had a name for her during the show, but as it was being taped they asked the audience what they thought it should be and some woman came up w/ Dolores

haha i didnt know that! i do think that dolores is a better joke than regina: sneakier and dirtier but still obvious enough once he shouts it

yeh dolores is better really. impressed i cd forget something like that for years

Idgi

dolores/clitoris

iirc, Jerry was with a girl and he couldn't remember her name, she told him it rhymed with a part of a woman's body, so he spent the episode trying to guess a female name that rhymed with a body part. at the end of the episode, after she storms out in disgust, he throws open his window and yells "Dolores"

I never got that. They don't even approach rhyming in my head.

It always kind of bugged me because it only rhymes if you pronounce clitoris a certain way which I think is the less common way of doing so. I don't pronounce it like that and that pronunciation sounds strange to me even though I think both are technically correct.

Weird because I feel like 90% of the time I've heard someone say it, its the way that rhymes with Dolores.

i think they took some "artistic license"

still p funny if you ask me

Wait, maybe not, maybe only like 65%. The more I keep trying out both in my head, the more confused I get as to which way I more often hear it.

Americans pronounce Regina as Regeena so that wouldn't have worked.

Yeah, I've heard both. Webster's 11th has both as well, but CLIT-or-is is listed first.

Weird because I feel like 90% of the time I've heard someone say it, its the way that rhymes with Dolores.

I would argue that this is probably in large part due to the episode!

yeah i've literally never heard anyone in my life say "regina" to rhyme w/ "vagina"

Never been to Saskatchewan?

one of the joys of sharing a small office is that theres no way of repeating 'dolores... clitoris...' under your breath in a questioning voice w/o getting some p disturbed looks

anyway it rhymes that way i would pronounce that two words but mb we need dr. whiney on this

idk "cliTORis" (pronounced like Thor in the middle in order to rhyme wiht Delores) just sounds really really awkward. Like, that's how my mom probably says it or something.

dolores

^^^ have experience cognitive dissonance

d all of this

seinfeld is still on tv every night I think

This reminds me of the classic Chicago joke:

Q: What are the three streets in Chicago that rhyme with vagina?
A: Paulina, Melvina, and Lunt.

sometimes I don't even realize I'm watching it and my gf gets kind of exasperated

she gets less exasperated at king of the hill tho

her name should have been Pat

RIP Mr. Pitt

(I see this is old news and has already been mentioned in the 2012 obits thread. Carry on.)

yeesh:

yeesh indeed :-(

RIP Mr. Pitt and :( at that dude's suicide attempt.

Just watched the ep where Kramer gets Novocaine at the dentist and wears Jimmy's special shoes so that some man thinks he's special and invites him to be a guest of honor at Mel Torme's benefit gig. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so much during Torme's serenade. Great one.

this is awesome

Seinfelt

holy shit those are perfect
