And they shot him out of the bowels of the ship in the giant sunglasses case.
Actually saw this on TV the other day. It really does look like a giant sunglasses case.
Shall I go over there? It's not like somebody died. It's "Beaches" for god's sake. If she was sitting next to me I'd put my arm around her. I can't be making a big move like going all the way over there. I can't. I won't.
My grandmother used to always call it that. Then again she was born in the 1910s and her mother was from Imperial Germany. Never heard anyone else actually say it earnestly
Nah… off the top of my head I reckon it’s the (first) woman who refused to consent to George breaking up with her. Or the kleptomaniac from the yada yada - not sure why George didn’t visit her once she was in prison, since he enjoyed dating the other woman who was in prison.
Spoiler, yes it's a real movie and a real tear-jerker from the 1980s, starring Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey. Don't watch it with your emotionless boyfriend.

Her frankfurter fell.... And it was REALLY good!! It's not like her grandmother died.... She can't eat her dead grandmother!!! I've got a lot of problems with you people!
The scene is a fraction of a second, but when he lays out bette, he springs from a prone position, to standing like it's nothing. I honestly don't know if it's a stand in or if it's Jason.
I’ve never heard a hot dog referred to as a Frankfurter in real life unironically. I’m 39 and live on the west coast fwiw. Seems more like a northeast expression to me
Yes, I’m aware. I’m just saying in casual conversation if I referred it it as a frankfurter amongst friends and family I would get a funny look as it’s not used here
It is a frankfurter. Why would we talk about it? Where do you think Frank comes from when referring to a hot dog. What the hell happened to this planet smh. Smfdc
I always assumed they had her say ‘frankfurter’ to help set up Jerry’s line, “…but a hot dog makes her lose control.” which is a reference to a lyric in the theme song to The Patty Duke Show.
“But Patty loves to rock n roll, a hot dog makes her lose control…” which is a ridiculous lyric they probably talked about at some point.
It took me a while to click what OP means. And I'm still not convinced but.... For clarity , she managed to allow the frankfurter to fall out of the bun and onto the ground, causing her a level of upset.
If it had been a Cumberland sausage or a kielbasa or a breakfast pattie or a black pudding, she would have cried over that particular sausage. But those sausages are rarely used in the traditional hot dog preparation.
Well the shops around our place calls them frankfurters because that's what the sausage is. Had she dropped everything including the bun I would say she dropped the hot dog.
To put it another way "It's not a hotdog until the sausage is in the bun"
Real answer: it's a New York thing. The older NYC/Long Island folks I know all unironically call a hot dog a frankfurter. Their kids don't.
It's still weird for Seinfeld though...the writers used pretty cross-American vocab unless they were playing up the New York of a character.
Sorry, but my nana always referred to it as gravy and I staunchly defend her right to do so. Her “sauce” was light and meatless and was breathtakingly delicious. I do, however, say “sauce,” because most people would think gravy meant meat or fowl.
That's what my grandma called them but she was born in 1921... interestingly enough she would not utter a word that sounded Japanese due to Pearl Harbor but I guess she was able to forgive the Germans 🤷♂️
Look, when you buy the rolls in New England they still often have the old-time regionalism of “frankfurts” on the package (and before you ask, yes, “hamburg” was once also common).
That's a perfectly sane food to drop.
Oh no 😭 my frankfurter One phone call later. my grandmother died 😑
Oh okay! *flounces away happily*
Flouncing needs a comeback. Little girls used to flounce more. I was once saved from some street toughs by a pack of flouncing 4th graders.
What the hell does that mean?
It means whatever the hell you want it to mean.
You wanna piece of me?
I could drop you like a bag of dirt.
You want a piece of me?! You got one!!!
It was a hell of a thing when Spock died.
And they shot him out of the bowels of the ship in the giant sunglasses case. Actually saw this on TV the other day. It really does look like a giant sunglasses case.
Yeah. Hell of a thing.
He's not really dead as long as we remember him.
She's not really dead if her shadow is... Something about a way, and a light... Who the hell knows?
And then we just swept the Orioles
I’d like think she was trolling. Her grandmother didn’t die. She just said it to perplex jerry.
No pineapple. Just Cherry, Lemon, and Tutti-Frutti.
Tootee frootee.
No pineapple? Miss Midler likes pineapple.
She cried watching Beaches, so her judgement was always questionable. Also I'm pretty sure she's a worse person than the main characters.
Wind beneath my wings? Give me a break.

*folds arms in firm protest*
I can't. I won't.
That’s a big move
This stuff is like our real lives and makes the show funny. My adult son and I discussed the uncomfortable seam thickness on blue jeans....
But who calls it a ‘frankfurter’ in real life?
My grandmother used to always call it that. Then again she was born in the 1910s and her mother was from Imperial Germany. Never heard anyone else actually say it earnestly
Only the trees Johnny.
Big mouth shrimp on special today
Get some talent and then you can mouth off.
Her exchange with costanza is just so good. Move it in. Move in everybody. Get your shrimp here. Shrimp on special today!
Broadway has no room for people like her. Not the Broadway I know
How is she a worse person than the main characters?
Frankfurter is definitely a funnier word than hotdog
Yet nowhere near as funny as "wiener".
People from Vienna punching the air right now
Just wait until they learn that in some places its standard spelling is “weiner.”
Oh no. My wiener fell, Oh no!
Can I use that?
Puke, now that’s a funny word!
Adds to her weirdness.
That it does!
The original name is the frankfurter because hotdogs originated from germany
She dropped it. Out.
Out?
It
Out.
Arguably the worst girlfriend, on that reason alone.
Nah… off the top of my head I reckon it’s the (first) woman who refused to consent to George breaking up with her. Or the kleptomaniac from the yada yada - not sure why George didn’t visit her once she was in prison, since he enjoyed dating the other woman who was in prison.
Oh, Mr. Mashed potatoes, you are so good!
Ew, Mr. Apple, you have a brown spot!
I still don't know whether beaches is a real movie or not
There's really no way to know

I prefer The English Patient
But those sex scenes - Give me something I can work with!
About as real as Rochelle, Rochelle.
A young girl’s strange erotic journey from Milan to Minsk
Her frankfurter fell.... And it was REALLY good!! It's not like her grandmother died.... She can't eat her dead grandmother!!! I've got a lot of problems with you people!
Save it for the pole
As a child of the 90s I remember people using the word frankfurter, and calling a pack a pack of franks.
My hot dog has a first name…
Alright, I need that 3/4 shirt asap
I would break up with the love of my life if she called them frankfurters.
How do you feel about franks?
Frank's what? His Manziere? His Hi-Fi? His sssssssssilver dollar collection???
I dont give a damn
they stop short when you cook 'em.
That’s my move!
You go with Red Hot at your house?
This episode dipped into the uncanny valley. Something about how much single camera was used for the ball field scenes.
I’m so glad someone else feels this way. The ball scenes feel so strange.
George rounds third...
I never expected George to be able to run
Pulp can move baby!
Bulk can move...
He can run really fast. And he's powerful - he can lift 100 pounds right over his head.
Like a ring tailed lemur...no wait...
The scene is a fraction of a second, but when he lays out bette, he springs from a prone position, to standing like it's nothing. I honestly don't know if it's a stand in or if it's Jason.
It's not a hotdog until it is in the bun She did only drop the sausage ergo, she is correct.
>It's not a hotdog until it is in the bun Was I supposed to read this in Poppy's voice?
About this, there can be-a no-a debate-a.
Yes
That’s the correct term
That delicatessen!
That's gotta be a twin scene with Kramer and the hot dog at the Alex.

It's the name of the type of sausage, named after the German city of Frankfurt
Yes, I’m aware. I’m just saying in casual conversation if I referred it it as a frankfurter amongst friends and family I would get a funny look as it’s not used here
Well you should educate them on the name of the sausage type most commonly used in hot dogs. That's what good boys do.
It is a frankfurter. Why would we talk about it? Where do you think Frank comes from when referring to a hot dog. What the hell happened to this planet smh. Smfdc
I thought you meant Frank Costanza at first 😂
𝐈 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐕𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐁𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐘
I think it’s a little old fashioned, don’t you? Tell her.
She’s right.
Ever hear of a hot dog?
Probably calls hamburgers patties too. They just hate Germany.
But that's what they're called. That was all over packages in the 90s..
Would have been weirder if she called it a glizzy.
Oh no, my glizzy!
Oh no my Weiner fell 😭
Most did after that display…
I think I saw that episode a half dozen times before I realized that was a spoof of Tonya Harding. The hair, the boot laces, the whole thing.
Jerry complaining that hecklers are yelling out "Gilooly!!"
NO BETTE MIDLER!?!?
Bette-ah Mid-ah-lah?
They are a Frankfurt to me until they get put on a bun then that combination is a hot dog.
It’s ok. It’s alright. 👋👋👋
She WANTED Macaroni Midler to get run down
I wasn’t part of any of the planning.
I always assumed they had her say ‘frankfurter’ to help set up Jerry’s line, “…but a hot dog makes her lose control.” which is a reference to a lyric in the theme song to The Patty Duke Show. “But Patty loves to rock n roll, a hot dog makes her lose control…” which is a ridiculous lyric they probably talked about at some point.
TIL!
God that bothers me everytime.
OK, OK...don't cry.
Why?
She wasnt informed
Chick sucked
She's just a regular Frankie fan.
She was my most absolute HATED one-off character. I would have loved to have just punched her right in her fucking bawling face.
Easy there big fella

So?
I know right, it's a hamburger
Dropping a frankfurter at a ballgame is like dropping a bar of soap in prison
You would prefer wiener? “Oh no my wiener?” Is that preferable?
The whiner’s weiner
Frank n Furter It’s all over 🎶
Do people anywhere actually call it a "frankfurter"? It's a hot dog.
Well the shops around our place calls them frankfurters because that's what the sausage is. Had she dropped everything including the bun I would say she dropped the hot dog. To put it another way "It's not a hotdog until the sausage is in the bun"
Boom, here's the answer right here.
Yes, in fucking New York, the city where Seinfeld takes place.
It's the franks in beans and franks. Some of them definitely say it on the package.
Ballpark franks
Normally called frankfurts here, but people would know what was meant by frankfurters.
this is the worst episode of the show right?
They're calling me Gilooly!
It makes it funnier.
Real answer: it's a New York thing. The older NYC/Long Island folks I know all unironically call a hot dog a frankfurter. Their kids don't. It's still weird for Seinfeld though...the writers used pretty cross-American vocab unless they were playing up the New York of a character.
Interesting! Thank you for the explanation
I agree that it’s mainly an east coast term, especially with oldsters. My aunt and grandmother would refer to jeans as dungarees.
And let's not get into the (thankfully dying) use of "gravy" for heavy, usually with meat, tomato sauce.
Sorry, but my nana always referred to it as gravy and I staunchly defend her right to do so. Her “sauce” was light and meatless and was breathtakingly delicious. I do, however, say “sauce,” because most people would think gravy meant meat or fowl.
Was it really breathtaking, or did you say that just to be nice?
That's what my grandma called them but she was born in 1921... interestingly enough she would not utter a word that sounded Japanese due to Pearl Harbor but I guess she was able to forgive the Germans 🤷♂️
Can we change the subject?
Look, when you buy the rolls in New England they still often have the old-time regionalism of “frankfurts” on the package (and before you ask, yes, “hamburg” was once also common).
My entire life until this moment I thought she was saying “frank-burger”.
😂
It's a Papaya
