Nip, The - The
nickname of Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) on the
sitcom SEINFELD/NBC/1990-98. Once Elaine wanted to send a
Christmas card with her photograph on it and so she got
her friend, Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) to take a
snapshot. Unfortunately, Elaine (and Kramer) didn't
realize her blouse was not fully buttoned and that her
breast nipple was exposed to the camera lens. When Elaine
first saw the mistake, she cried "Oh my God, that's my
Nipple!" For this little photo faux pas, she was nicknamed
"The Nip" by her coworkers at Pendant Publishing. Elaine
later cropped the nipple part off the photograph and used
it for her health club ID.
On the episode "The One with the Boobies" on the sitcom
FRIENDS/NBC/1994-2004 Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry)
accidentally viewed Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston) breasts
when she left the shower. As a "tit" for "tat" compromise,
his friends recommended that he show Rachel his pee-pee.
Chandler responded, "Well, I'm not showing you my tat."
