In the Mom and Pop store episode, George tells Kramer, "Well if my mom and pop had a store, I wouldn't shop there." Then Kramer said, "Hey, Bogambo they've been in the neigborhood 48 years." What does Bogambo mean? My friend and I haven't been able to figure this out and there is nothing we found on the internet about it.

Probably some racial slur.

Are you sure that he didn't say "Mogambo?"

Probably something popular in the early 1990's.

My guess, since Richards was into Yoga and such, is that its some type of Indo language slang. Funny how a piece loving(allegedly) yoga practicing vegan can turn into a irate racial slur shouting lunatic. The Urban dictionary defines it as the following
Bogambo

Adjective: Anyone who resembles George Castansa from Seinfeld

Fat Albert is a Bogambo

I think it has Indian origins because it comes up on Bollywood websites.

I found out it's from a Bollywood movie. A character named Mogambo who was a famous villian in 'Mr. India.' For some reason Mogambo is also called Bogambo by some people.

This episode just came on TV and it sounded like Kramer did say "Bogambo!"

I watched it also on TBS. It didn't sound like he got a laugh from it, so maybe it was just a random thing.

Its just a typical Kramerism. In one other episode he calls Jerry "Majumba". Its just Kramer being Kramer.

speaking of Seinfeld...anybody heard of his feature film "Bee Movie"?

I heard it may be good enough to win an Oscar (although I can't see this happening)

IMDB: Comedian Jerry Seinfeld took a huge leap of faith to promote his new film Bee Movie at the Cannes Film Festival in France yesterday - by jumping from a hotel roof, dressed as an insect. The Seinfeld star, dressed in a yellow-and-black bee suit, dived from a hotel and swung out over the Carlton Hotel Pier as photographers took shots way below him. The comedian joked, "They tell me Scorsese did the same thing last year for The Departed." Bee Movie, set to be released this fall by DreamWorks, features the voices of Seinfeld, Renee Zellweger, Matthew Broderick and Chris Rock, among others.
