Costanza

To set out to accomplish a life task, only to fail miserably right off the bat. Usually done so in a humerously ironic manner that will make great campfire stories later on in life.

Examples of a Costanza would include, but are not limited to:

Spilling hot chocolate on the girl you've just met, thus giving her 3rd degree leg burns and forever friending you by default.

Falling into a gaping lawn hole while attempting to act suave whilst playing hot potato with various clothing items.

Attempting to engulf any sort of hot vegetable whole without the aid of silver ware, thus creating an awkward situation along with severe tongue injuries.

Sitting in a room, petting a dog's ass for 3 hours while your friends make moves on the girl you came there in the hopes of getting to know.

Being caught with dubious amounts of contraband by an insane lawyer, then proceeding to forge a night's worth of false documents in order to prove your innocence.
Chris: "So, you think that girl I met the other day will be there tonight? I really hope so, because she seems pretty cool."

Kyle: "Yeah man, just don't screw this up. Play it cool, you'll be fine."

10 Minutes after arriving to her house....
*Chris spills hot chocolate all over the girl's leg, and swallows a potato whole, then proceeds to pet the dog's ass the rest of the night out of shame and confusion*

Kyle, Mike, Chris: "COSTANZA!!!! CO-STANZA!!!"

The Costanza

When you are eating a girl out and the pussy just isn't enough for you. You proceed to take a quick break unknowing to your girl and take a bite of a pastrami sandwich you have hidden. Then you get back to eating the more delicious pastrami in between your girls legs. Just like George did in the episode.
Dude I was so hungry last night while I was fucking that I pulled the costanza on my girl.

Costanzaed It

Costanzaed It--the art of taking a seemingly sure thing and somehow fumbling it away, usually due to a temporary and false sense of empowerment or boldness.

Based on the Seinfeld character George who repeatedly snapped defeat from the jaws of victory.

Also: present tense "Costanza It", or to "Pull a Costanza"
1. Man, I sure Costanzaed It with that chick. We were sucking face and I asked her if she and her sister would go for a ride on the threeway freeway. She ditched me faster than a cat can lick its ass.

2. Dude, you have a Recession Beard. Don't Pull a Costanza on the job offer by asking for Rock Star Parking and mo money.

Dirty Costanza

The act of leaving an 'after hours' log of greatness in the office shitter for the cleaning lady to find.
Rather than sleeping with the cleaning lady (like George Costanza), I left her a Dirty Costanza in the office toilet.

George Costanza

An absolute failure of a dude who can’t even keep a steady job.
George: Every decision I have ever made in my life has been wrong. I guess thats because I’m George Costanza.
