Help!!!!

I just saw the repeat of the ep. where Jerry can't remeber his
girlfriend's name. We find out that it rhymes with a part of
the female anatomy, and her name is revealed at the end of the
show as Delores. What the hell does Delores rhyme with, and
who's called Delores these days anyway !

Please, please, please help - My friends and I are going crazy


PS - My opinion is that Delores is not meant to rhyme with
anything, but is used simply to confuse fools like myself

I believe the answer to this perplexing question is 'clitoris', do
others agree?

It certainly sounds more reasonable than "Mulva." :-)

Tim,

I see that several people have posted the answer.

Just one additional comment: I don't have a penis but i certainly
know what one is! (I never miss an opportunity to say penis!)

I've heard other people being mystified by this. You see, most people
pronounce it "CLIT-or-is"...with the accent on the first syllable. THIS
does NOT rhyme with Delores. However, if you pronounce it with the
accent on the SECOND syllable, as in "clit-OR-is", it DOES rhyme with
Delores. Technically, it's supposed to be pronounced "CLIT-or-is" (at
least, according to the dictionary), so they sort of fudged it a little.

So, I'll assume THAT'S why a lot of people couldn't figure out what the
rhyme was. Of course...there's a lot of guys who can't figure out WHERE
the clitoris is, so maybe there's some sort of correlation---???????

When I first saw this episode, I was watching it with my nice
Roman Catholic mother, and I actually had to explain it to her. Not
that she didn't knwo the word; she just didn't get the connection.

This goes under he heading of "Conversations With My Mother That I Never
Thought I'd Have". YEeeccchhh....

You've got to be kidding. I guess you were right when you called
yourself a fool.

Your mileage may vary, but depending on you pronounce the word "clitoris" (i.e.
where you put the emphasis) you will see what part of the female anatomy rhymes
with Delores. (rapidly making a huge comeback in popularity for names of babies)

The problem with this is that most people mis-pronounce clitoris.
Actually, clitoris sounds as much like Delores, as Penis sounds like
Dennis. (In other words, not at all...)

Or if they know what to do with it, is it the right time to be doing it.
Are we getting just a little bit off of the subject of Seinfeld here?

In the local dialect of New York City, Dolores rhymes perfectly with CliTORis.
That's how we say it here. Most of us don't have Oxford English Dictionaries,
in fact 20% of the people here don't even speak English as their primary
language at all.

There are two ways to pronounce the word clitoris, both well documented in
most dictionaries. Webster's Ninth Collegiate is one of them.

Why do you have 7 dictionaries?

Just wondering.

Doesn't everybody? (I'm an editor, so they sort of accumulate, but I
seldom use them all--unless it's for something really important like
this.)

I have four dictionaries in book form, and three digital ones.
I even have a 1937 Webster's Unabridged. Unfortunately, newer words
(such as television) aren't in it. One can never have enough.

Her name name is Regina. Throughout the whole episode the audience knows it must be Regina. The humour at the end is in the fact that Jerry appears so confident and Delores is clearly no more correct than Mulva.
