Art Vandalay

A judge in Latham. Massachusetts.

Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza made up the name, which they used whenever they needed to tell a lie involving a non-existent person, or they needed to claim to be someone else.

They were aghast when, in the series finale, they were arrested and hauled before the judge, whose name was actually Art Vandalay.

Court is now in session. The Honorable Judge Art Vandalay presiding.

Madalyn Murray O'hair

a angry atheist activist, now deceased. She traveled the nation to proclaim the non-existence of God. And she hated religion. She wasn't just an atheist. She was really, really mad about it. And she was an aggressive woman. And a real Large Marge. Even Ayn Rand, herself an atheist and angry as well, disdained her.

She went missing for over a year and finally turned up murdered.

Madalyn Murray O'Hair, you sure are an angry atheist, you crazy bitch.

wilding

a non-word. It arose from media haze in 1989, during the "Central Park Jogger" case. It supposedly means marauding in search of ultra-violence, but the media made it sound like it was already urban slang, when it was not. The word did not exist till the jogger thing.

ANYWAY, the youths who were supposedly "wilding" were all innocent anyway. The whole thing really stank, big time.

"Wilding" is a non-word.

to run, sometimes follows "on the," meaning "on the run." Used by thirties-style gangsters, the same ones who said things like "Let's case the joint, see?"

Kramer: Yeah, he went down at the Beakman. He tried to lam, but they cheesed him.
