Happy Festivus, everyone!

Now, before the “Airing of Grievances” or the “Feats of Strength,” consider looking back on the countless Seinfeld-isms that have become part of the pop culture lexicon. Think of it as a “Festivus Miracle,” if you will.

• Festivus

  People celebrate Festivus now.  Seriously, here’s a Festivus kit for sale on Amazon!

• 'Hello…Newman'

  Know someone you can’t stand?  Ever greet them with the same disdain?  Stop kidding yourself; yes, you have!

• The Jerk Store

  We’ve all met someone that belongs in The Jerk Store.

• 'You’re So Good Looking'

  …And sneezes have never been the same!

• 'Shrinkage'

  HE WAS IN THE POOL!
  

• '…Not that there’s anything wrong with that'

  Easily one of the most versatile Seinfeld-isms from the whole series.
  

• 'No soup for you!'

  Seinfeld has changed the way we look at soup since this classic episode!
  

• 'Spare a square'

  You know a show is influential when you could be sitting on the toilet and think about it.

• Man hands

  Jerry was always picky about his women, but this was easily one of our favorite “deal breakers” of his.
  

• 'Master of your domain'

  Really…this entire episode is a prime example of just how good the writing was.
  

• 'Sponge-worthy'

  The fact that Luke from Gilmore Girls is the one trying to prove himself to be “sponge-worthy” makes this clip even better.
  

• 'Yada Yada Yada'

  Anyone else “yada yada’d” sex?  Anyone…anyone?
  

• Regifting

  Some of us have “regifted” pre-Seinfeld, but they helped coin the term.
  

• Schmoopie

  My in-laws call each other “schmoopie.” Even though they’re just kidding around, it’s still gross.

• 'These pretzels are making me thirsty!'

  Regardless of the type of pretzel, it’s hard not to think of this Seinfeld-ism when you’re eating them.
