a parking sp-ce especially close to the entrance, usually the closest or second closest sp-ce.
“look at this parking spot! what a costanza!”
one that is tight with money.
dude, you’re such a freakin costanza.
a costanza is not being able to come up with a quick retort. instead of being able to think on the spot, a constanza thinks of a good comeback on the way home, in the car, the following day, two days later…

a costanza then tries to recreate the conditions under which he was originally insulted so he can fling back a witty retort. the results range from pathetic to miserable.

attempting to engulf any sort of hot vegetable whole without the aid of silver ware, thus creating an awkward situation along with severe tongue injuries.

being caught with dubious amounts of contraband by an insane lawyer, then proceeding to forge a night’s worth of false doc-ments in order to prove your innocence.
