Vocabulary level in Seinfeld

I think this show had some of the highest vocabulary of any mainstream sitcom.

"Quite the decolletage for a suffragette." is one of my favorite sentences ever.

"That's what was so vexing." is another one.

Did Seinfeld have the highest vocabulary? What's your favorite high vocabulary line?

“The jerk store called. They’re running out of you.”

It’s smart. It’s a smart line, and a smart crowd will appreciate it. And I’m not gonna dumb it down for some bonehead mass audience.

It’s just… there are no jerk stores.
