The Queen of Confrontation

Elaine Marie Benes is one of the most inspirational female characters on TV today. She is not afraid to tell it like it is (eg. she told how she "faked 'em all with Jerry"). Elaine may sometimes be a little too blunt- and down-right antagonistic when she sees someone wearing fur. It must be hereditary- her dad Alton is the same way.

Elaine's Men

Elaine Benes, The Legend

• Muffin Tops- her idea was to sell only the muffin tops and forget about the stumps.
• Name Tags- Elaine decides Manhatten would be a whole lot nicer if everyone wore name tags. Good thing she's not involved in politics.
• Get Out!- a phrase Elaine shreaks when she is excited
• Shiksappeal- Mysterious power that attracts Jewish men to non-Jewish women like Elaine.
• Sexual Perjury- Elaine admits she has committed this sin with Jerry before. He begs for another chance.
• Sidler- A man at work who walks quietly, sneaking up behind Elaine all the time.
• Sponge Worthy- Elaine's contraceptives go off the market; therefore she must conserve. She will not sleep with her boyfriends until evaluating them thoroughly. If they pass the test then they are spongeworthy.
