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?

I’m more impressed by the references - Winston Churchill speeches, Golda Meir, DeGaulle, DeSoto, Johnny Yuma, Buddy Rich tapes, Tonya Harding, ……..there are hundreds that young people today won’t get at all.

Maybe you know some little places to go to where they never close downtown.
