The Unofficial Seinfeld Dictionary
You are listening to someone, and they take a step closer. You take a step back. They follow. The conversation is ordinary. Your feet have become involved.
Seinfeld has a name for this person.
It also has a name for the friend passing on your present, the comeback that arrives six hours late, and the version of you that would prefer your partner never joined the group chat.
This book follows sixty of those words, phrases, people and objects. Each gets a page: what it means, where it appears in the show, and the small human arrangement that makes the joke work. There is a new example for taking it into your own life, though I can't promise this will improve the situation.
**Inside the book**
Close-talker. Regifter. Art Vandelay. Big salad. Kavorka. Jerk store. Spongeworthy. Serenity now. Summer of George. Worlds colliding. And fifty more.
