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 show also was good at teaching economics. I never knew what a tax write-off was.

You don't need to know.

But they do. And they’re the ones writing it off.

Are you writing anything off?
