The Greatest 'Seinfeld' Character Nicknames

Close Talker

A serious obstructor of personal space, everyone knows Judge Reinhold as the "close talker." Parents, friends and strangers, doesn't matter, Judge will invade your space to the point of total awkwardness in an attempt to fast track a friendship with his in-your-face enthusiasm.

Mimbo

Tony! According to Jerry, "He's a male bimbo. He's a mimbo." Yet, he is George's new favorite person and Elaine's new boyfriend, and Tony is all about the adventure and nothing about the lame. You feel like some rock climbing, bro? I DEFINITELY feel some rock climbing.

Nip

Kramer thinks he's doing Elaine a favor by taking her portraits for Christmas cards, but he's really doing everybody else a favor when he fails to hide her protruding nipple. This leads to people around her office calling her "Nip," a nickname that really sticks out (get it?).

Pigman

"Half man, half pig!" The Pigman is an elusive character that roams the hospitals, letting out shrieking, manly squeals. After an accidental encounter, Kramer does his best to hunt and track the mutant, but to no avail.

High Talker

When a man has such a high voice that it borders close to the levels of a woman, you've got yourself a high talker. Jerry has trouble distinguishing between the two on the phone, leading to more Jerry-like troubles.

Two-Face

Good lighting is everything, especially when it comes to a two-face. One minute it's Cinderella, the next it's an evil stepsister. Sometimes the two-face can seem like two completely different people, and in Jerry's case, he has friends like Kramer dumb enough to fall for it. 

Man Hands

The most delicate feature of all women, well almost all women, are the hands. In the unlikely event of a woman with man hands, no jar of pickles will remain impenetrable. Jerry has his knit-picky hang-ups about women, but this one seems justified (click here for a better man hands clip).

Soup Nazi

"You want bread? Three dollars!" Thankfully, not many carryout lines feature people this dictating. The Soup Nazi is a staple Seinfeld character; even my grandmother knows about him and his hidden recipes.

Bubble Boy

The last thing you ever want to do is start a tiff with a bubble boy, no matter how big of a prick he is. If the card reads "Moops," and he says "Moors," it's probably best to let it slide before the whole town comes after you with torches and pitchforks (click here for another Bubble Boy clip).

Low Talker

When it comes to a low talker, it's always a good idea to confirm what they're asking you so that you don't wind up on national television in a puffy pirate shirt. You don't wanna be a pirate!

Anti-Dentite

Dentists came here in search of freedom just like the rest of us. So what if they want to switch religions just for the jokes. If Bryan Cranston (Tim Whatley) wants to poke fun at Jewish people, you let him. He's going to become Walter effing White!

Regifter

And if Bryan Cranston gives you a gift - it doesn't matter where it came from - you take it happily. The regifter concept has been around for a while, and it's hard to say where it originated from, but we'll assume "Seinfeld," where all good things come from.

The Sidler

Every office has one: a sidler. A sidler is the guy or gal who is always saddling up right beside you when you're not looking, then disappears quickly after, leaving you creeped out. He may steal some of your hard earned credit for a job well done, too. There's no way to prevent a sidler, except by tricking him into carrying Tic Tacs.

Man in a Cape

Where do you even get a good cape? It's hard to say whether or not spending time with a man in a cape is a good idea or a GREAT idea. I guess if you had to trust anybody, it'd be the man in a cape, especially if that person is played by Larry David.

Double Dipper

"You dipped the chip, took a bite and then you dipped again." Everybody knows a double dipper, and nobody trusts one. If you see a friend do that at a party, you tell them to dip once and then end it.

Assman

It's the street name for any good proctologist. If you've got a Cadillac with "ASSMAN" license plates, you've got clearance to stop short as many times with as many women as you so choose. It's your well-earned right.
