serenity now
Shouted relaxation mantra
Serenity now is a phrase used as a calming mantra, often spoken ironically or in desperation when someone is clearly not calm.
The phrase became a cultural catchphrase from the television show *Seinfeld*, where a character shouts it to manage stress—undercutting the intended tranquility: Serenity now! Serenity now!
The humor lies in the gap between the words and the speaker's agitated state.
