Costanza comeback

A phenomenal comeback to an insult, that arrives in your head only 30 minutes too late. Coined from George's antics in the "Jerk Store" episode of Seinfeld. Frequently encountered during the car ride home from somewhere and in more extreme cases while in bed the night after getting humiliated.

After getting caught ingesting pounds of shrimp in a meeting a coworker tells George that, "the ocean called, they're running out of shrimp" To this shaming George has no reply. Then on the drive home he comes up with a Costanza comeback, "well the Jerk Store called and they're running out of you!"

Based on the Seinfeld characted "George Costanza," 'George Costanzaing' is the act of taking back some of the money one has left for a tip, most often while the money is in the waitress/waiter's hand.

I totally George Costanzaed that waitress when I realized you left 15.00 on a 20 dollar tab!

I'm not one for George Costanzaing, but I refuse to leave more than 2 dollars for this waiter!

costanza

A Costanza is not being able to come up with a quick retort. Instead of being able to think on the spot, a Constanza thinks of a good comeback on the way home, in the car, the following day, two days later...

A Costanza then tries to recreate the conditions under which he was originally insulted so he can fling back a witty retort. The results range from pathetic to miserable.

George Costanza syndrome

A mental condition in which a person blames everyone else for his own failures.

Both Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho certainly have the George Costanza syndrome as they blame the referees for every one of their losses. Real Madrid fans have the George Constanza syndrome as they claim UEFA favors Barcelona FC over Real Madrid.
