“This dictionary’s no good, we need a medical dictionary! When a patient is difficult, you quone him.” - Kramer
What does quone mean? Where else can it be used? Thnks
Will you take it as an answer: “To quone” is a neologism first coined in “The Stakeout” episode of the television series “Seinfeld”, “quone” was a word used by Mrs. Seinfeld in a Scrabble game. It was found by Jerry to not be a real word, but Kramer insists that it means “to sedate”.
Adding up: quone - to desperately want something.
Example: I quone a date with Carmen Electra.

Hi,
here is the script of the scene:
Jerry: “Quone”?
Helen: …30…31…
Jerry: “Quone”? No, I’m afraid that I’m going to have to challenge that.
Helen: …32…
Kramer: No, you don’t have to challenge that. That’s a word. That’s a definite word.
Jerry: I am challenging…
Kramer: Quone: to quone something.
Jerry: Uh-huh…
Helen: I’m not playing with you anymore…
Morty: Quone’s not a word…
Jerry: No good. Sorry. There it is. Get it off…
Helen: Why did you make me put that down?
Kramer: Nah, we need a medical dictionary! If a patient gets difficult, you quone him…
Seinfeld is famous for its neologisms such as “yada, yada, yada”, “Sperminator”, “idiot-mobile” and “anti-dentite”.
Btw, Elaine was quoned when she asked her doctor questions he didn’t want to answer. Her doctor wrote in her medical record “Difficult”.
