Stop short 

Frank Costanza's "move", which he claims to have used on Estelle Costanza circa 1955.

It involves the driver hitting the brakes in a moving vehicle, suddenly (stopping-short), and throwing out the hand closest to the front seat passenger's chest, as to stop them from being hurled towards the dashboard; inadvertently, groping the passenger's chest in the process.
Frank: "I used it on Estelle 40 years ago. I told EVERYBODY about it, everybody knows - *HMPH* - I stop short!"

Jerry: "Really..? 'Stopping short' - that's a good move..."

Frank: "You're not kidding it's a good move!"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
