"This dictionary's no good, we need a medical dictionary! When a patient is difficult, you quone him." - Kramer

Will you take it as an answer: "To quone" is a neologism first coined in "The Stakeout" episode of the television series "Seinfeld", "quone" was a word used by Mrs. Seinfeld in a Scrabble game. It was found by Jerry to not be a real word, but Kramer insists that it means "to sedate".

Hi,

here is the script of the scene:

Jerry: "Quone"?
Helen: ...30...31...
Jerry: "Quone"? No, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to challenge that.
Helen: ...32...
Kramer: No, you don't have to challenge that. That's a word. That's a definite word.
Jerry: I am challenging...
Kramer: Quone: to quone something.
Jerry: Uh-huh...
Helen: I'm not playing with you anymore...
Morty: Quone's not a word...
Jerry: No good. Sorry. There it is. Get it off...
Helen: Why did you make me put that down?
Kramer: Nah, we need a medical dictionary! If a patient gets difficult, you quone him...

Seinfeld is famous for its neologisms such as "yada, yada, yada", "Sperminator", "idiot-mobile" and "anti-dentite".

Btw, Elaine was quoned when she asked her doctor questions he didn't want to answer. Her doctor wrote in her medical record "Difficult".
