How to Use Seinfeld Lingo

"Seinfeld" was an extremely popular sitcom that aired on NBC from 1989 to 1998. Following its successful nine season run, "TV Guide" named it the greatest program of all time in 2002. A multitude of quotes from the show still remains in dialogue today and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.

Instructions

1. Watch as many episodes of "Seinfeld" as you can. There are still reruns on TV, almost daily, and all nine seasons are available on DVD. The more you watch, the better you'll get to know the quotes you like best and will pick up the lingo more easily.

2. Make references to funny situations the "Seinfeld" characters found themselves in. There were a variety of types of "talkers" (high, low, close), Jerry dated the woman with "man hands," George suffered from "shrinkage," Elaine had a co-worker who was a "sidler" and Kramer was known as the "Assman." Work these terms into your conversations for a good laugh.

3. Throw in a "Seinfeld" catchphrase periodically in your normal speech. Quotes like "Yada, yada, yada," "Not that there's anything wrong with that" and "These pretzels are making me thirsty!" have use in everyday conversations and can apply to different life situations.

4. Memorize monologues performed on the show. Consider giving a funny rendition of the "second spitter" story, Kramer driving a bus trying to save a woman's severed pinky toe, George talking about how he saved a beached whale or Elaine's freak-out on the subway on the way to a gay wedding.
