"Hello Schmoopy" --Jerry

"Awww hello schmoopy" --Jerry's girlfriend

"How's my little schmoopy today?" --Jerry

"Ugh they are sooooo aggravating with their little schmoopy this and schmoopy that." --Elaine



Schmoopy. Rarely does a word inspire such love and affection on one side, and such a feeling of nausea on the other. The term 'Schmoopy' is probably best known as a term of endearment used on the show 'Seinfeld.' In one episode, Jerry and his girlfriend exchange this word in almost every scene they appear in. They are caught up in love. They are at the height of their attraction to one another. The scenes that don't include Jerry and his girlfriend are primarily made up of conversations between their friends about how annoying their use of 'Schmoopy' really is.

Many couples have a word that they use like this. It shows the other person their affection, and a lot of times it is a made-up word specific to that couple. This gives them a further sense of exclusivity and apparent oneness. It's almost like being in a club: there's a secret handshake, a hideout spot, or even a membership card. In dating relationships, schmoopiness is the membership card.

Of course, in most clubs, the exclusivity makes people want to become a part of it. Schmoopy tends to repel people. But this can be a good thing. A dating relationship isn't meant for more than two people. That's where we get the term 'third wheel' from. So by creating these awkward customs and annoying terms, the relationship becomes that much more cemented based on purely the feelings of the primary two participants.

Schmoopiness can go too far, however. The friends that we have before we are in a dating relationship are often the people with the best viewpoint on our relationships. They have the opportunity to see us both single and as part of a couple. When we are the one dating, it's hard to remember life without the other person; and with that much attraction and pheromones, who would want to remember a life of singleness?

But our friends can run interference for us. They can tell us when we're losing essential parts of ourselves, when we are lowering our standards or bending our supposed non-negotiables. If they think someone isn't good enough for us, they will often even do informal background checks by talking to other friends or acquaintances who know our new beau. And like any good friend, we will hate them for it.

That's one of the reasons it is so important. Despite how good we think our own judgment is, we need our friends to help us remember who we are. In a lot of ways (for good or for bad) friendships have taken over the traditional role of family in our culture. It's no longer our parents that we turn to for advice (at least not in or teens and early twenties), it's our friends. And hopefully, they will also be there for us to remind us when someone really is Schmoopy enough for us.
