[...] Biden’s comment was a slightly off-topic aside from his main focus, which was bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States.

Eschewing a debate about the meaning of the word “like,” I have to take issue with the factual inaccuracies of Metz’s comment. Kramer and Newman are collecting both bottles and cans. Kramer even sings even sings a song about bottles and cans when they are in the truck. While I’ll concede to you that the name of the episode is “The Bottle Deposit,” I’ll simply refer you to this bit of stage direction from the shooting script:

“A cigar-smoking Kramer and a gleeful Newman, regard the back of a mail truck, filled with plastic sacks of bottles and cans. They slap palms and shake hands as Kramer pulls down the door and flips the handle closed.”

bottles AND cans.

I disagree. I preface it with “Like a Seinfeld episode,” meaning “similar to.”

Like: “Having similar qualities or characteristics to another person or thing.”
