What is the move that Elaine's boyfriend copied off Jerry? I want to
know. If anyone knows, please tell me. You know, with the swirl or the
pinch?

You mean "the Switch"?

Well, first Jerry tried the switch (dating the *other* rommate)

Then George tried the technique to get *out* of a relationship

Both failed, as they had not anticipated the response. I haven't seen
any episode where Elaine tried the switch, but then we're behind.

"the Switch" is to date one rommate, meet the other, dump the first -
then date the other.

No, he doesn't mean "The Switch", he means "The Move". Never fully
explained (a la the "Venus Butterfly" of "LA Law" several years back),
it clearly implies some sexual maneuver. I've always imagined it
having to do with a woman's breasts, since that's the only part of the
body I can think of where a swirl or a pinch might be equally exciting.
Of course, I don't get out much.

Pleeeaaaseee tell me you're kidding. A swirl or a pinch can do
wonders... uh, below the equator.

Try to get out more.

Not "...it moved" then?

Ok, maybe it's an episode after the 100 - that's how far we are in
Norway right now.

NO, NO, No!!! There is a "switch" and there is a "move" the switch is
the one when Jerry (and then later George) suggest a "Menage - a -
trois " and both times it backfires, the "move" is a sexual "move"
which Jerry's Mechanic steals from him. It is unknow what the move
exactly is but Jerry's version contains a counter clockwise (if I'm not
mistaken) swirl. It is unknow if the move is done with the finger,
mouth or anything else...

This is a testimony to the subtleness of the show...I got the impression it referred to oral sex;
George was having no luck with "the knuckle" but Jerry's "swirl" was amazingly effective for him.
Elaine's new boyfriend used the swirl on her and having dated Jerry she recognized it. Of course
the swirl was mentioned often, but never in a way that gave you any indication of what exactly
was involved. Yes, "the pinch" was mentioned but I can't remember if it was Elaine's boyfriend
was using it before switching to the swirl...or George, when he wasn't using the knuckle [ouch]?

Well, I've rambled long enough!

I don't think it's possible to know, it's undisclosed.

I believe Jerry had the move first and told his car
mechanic about it and he used it. Jerry got mad.

The mechanic's name is David Puddy. He's a big NJ Devils fan.
He learned the move from Jerry when Jerry told him about it when he was
using it on Elaine.
Jerry's mad because Puddy used "his" move and changed the last part from
the swirl to a pinch.
When George sees how Elaine takes to the move, he gets Jerry to teach it
to him so he can use it on his girlfriend. He messes it up the first
time so ends up writing crib notes on his hand the next time out. His
girlfriend is pleasantly surprised, especially by the counter-clockwise
swirl, until she sees the notes on his hand and then decides that he's
sick.

It has got to be oral sex because as Jerry is explaining it he talks
about ending with a swirl or something, I can't remember. I do remember
discussing it the next day at school and everyone was sure it was oral
sex.

I think someone told me that the move was explained in a Playboy or

I think you are talking about the "stop short" move. Yes, Kramer used
that on Estelle, but we're talk

It's probably in league with the "Venus Butterfly" that was mentioned on L.A.
Law a few years back. I'm sure "the move" on Seinfeld is fictitious.
However, there are many books out which cover "alternative" moves. You might
want to track one of those down instead... ;^)

It's been 25 years, and the search for the move continues.
