Forget Emmys, it’s the dictionary set to enshrine the writer’s legacy, capturing labels we never knew we needed.
You’re looking for a cab on a busy street, when a man appears, also on the lookout. Except he’s a block nearer to oncoming traffic. Unfair! Not to say rude. But what’s the word for such an offence?
Larry David has the answer, as he does for most social breaches, be it the pop-in , the double-dip or the ribbon bully , David’s co-creation with the sitcom’s eponym, while that taxi outrage is called upstreaming, as we learnt fromSeinfeldLarry David in the final episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, No Lesson Learned.As Emmys go, David has been nominated 31 times. His hit rate? Two wins, both in the early ’90s.
Because David’s knack, more than observation, is to coin a word for each human folly he sees. Consider foist, a verb lying dormant in the dictionary until. Here, Larry dumps an inept assistant by gushing about her skills to Susie, who’s duped into head-hunting her. A classic foist, transferring damaged goods by deceit.Can you celebrate your birthday two weeks later? No, says the Birthday Cutoff. Can you apologise two weeks later? No, says the Sorry Window.
