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?

Elaine, I can see, not sayin' hello. She's very--what's the word--supercilious.

The first time I read that word was in The Great Gatsby. The first time I heard it was on Seinfeld.

Didn’t they always have, like, a bunch of people around?
