Kramer
Kramer is a German surname meaning shopkeeper or merchant.
In American pop culture, it refers almost exclusively to Cosmo Kramer, the eccentric neighbor character from the television series *Seinfeld*—known for his wild hair, sliding entrances, and absurd schemes.
To pull a Kramer is to do something impulsive and bizarre.
