The Nip - 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.
TRIVIA NOTE:
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."
