(this is a real map in Queens)
This is probably my favourite joke in all of seinfeld.
Or the monologue from “Thewhalemarine biologist”, with the line of “The sea was angry that day my friends; like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli”Agreed, nexus might be my fav line as well. Certainly the most memorable for me.
[…] I could see directly into the eye of the great fish.
Mammal.
whatever.
I just watched it and it’s peak 90s:
- Kramer calls from a payphone
- Kramer makes a collect call and puts his message as his name
- Jerry answers on the overly large wireless phone
- Nobody has a cell phone or any way to communicate after Jerry leaves
Nothing in this snippet would make sense today, it’s glorious.
I knew this was Queens before I even looked at the map.
Public School 153 got me as far as NYC. :)
link to this place:
Of course it’s in a place called ‘Flushing.’ Who was memeing when making this place?
why not 60-60?
I was about to falsely call out OP for yet another fake post… but they do this for 59th as well.

“We’re near the public school.”
“Which one???”As soon as I saw the title I knew it was Queens lol
40.71597° N, 73.90479° W Roughly.
We’re at 60th and 60th. Take a left on 60th and take it to the second stop sign. If you see 60th, you’ve gone too far.
No wonder there’s so many angry people in New York.
Lol, I used to live near there and recognized it immediately.
Queens is a silly place.
I know its real but were the roads named this way as a joke?
In my city, there are also things like “60th Road Place” and “60th Avenue Court”…the possibilities are endless!
“Public School 153” sounds like it came out of Half-Life or something
Welcome to City 17
I thought so highly of its education that I elected to make my administration here.
I think public schools in NYC are just numbered. There are so many, I imagine it makes it a lot easier to administer
Are they all one district? I thought larger cities broke them up…
That’s your cue it’s in NYC.
60th Ct? What’s Ct for? Cunt?
You’ve never seen a court before?
The kind with a judge or the kind with basketball hoops?
But no, first time I’ve heard of it.
I think ‘cul-de-sac’ is the closest translation for yanks
We definitely have “courts” in the US
Like this one. My uncle also lives on a court as well. They’re more common in fancier neighborhoods.
Not a yank, or from any of the current or former british territories, but that one I recognize. AFAIK it means “ass of bag” in french, which makes me giggle.
You think wrong, that’s not even an English word for fucks sake, nobody knows what the hell that means.
Just call it a dead end.
It’s a loan word. English is full of them.
That’s the closest term I could find that describes the unique type of dead end that a court is.
Not all dead ends are cul-de-sac’s but all cul-de-sac’s are dead ends.“Court” isn’t an English word? The fuck?
I can’t speak for Texas, but the US definitely has roads named “Ct.”
they’re referring to cul-de-sac
oh word
Right? This is the most amazing discussion I’ve ever been part of.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to pass a court again without impulsively telling whoever I’m with “You know they don’t have those everywhere”.
It’ll be my new Aragorn’s broken toe.
Carat
It has never occurred to me that Court might be a regional thing. This is kind of blowing my mind.
I would guess, circuit? Or maybe crescent.
the list below says it might stand for “court”, so a very good question indeed
Let me introduce you to 4th Street in Mountain Home, Idaho
4th north, east 4th north, and south 4th east. Did I find them all?
You found E 4th N, but did you find the second E 4th N?
The one by the coffee place?
Meet me at Road and Street.
Oh, I’m at Lane and Drive. Be there in a sec.
