Zivaisms: Because we love her English idioms #2
Thought it would be fun to start a list similar to the Tony movie references thread, only with all the idioms Ziva has mixed up. Anyone have a better idea for a thread title? My all-time favorite is when she told Tony to stop "googling" her when they were in LA in season 5.  By popular demand, I will start listing them here: "I feel like a donkey's butt." (horse's ass) - 3x04 Silver War "You might want to do something about your hair... it's sticking up like a porcuswine , no porcupig..." (porcupine) - 3x04 Silver War "I'm braless." (barless) - 3x12 Boxed In "Counting your riches, King Cole?" (King Midas) - 3x12 Boxed In "Mind if I take a bat nap?" (cat nap) - 3x17 Ravenous "It'll be like trying to find a pin in the haystack." (needle in a haystack) - 3x17 Ravenous "I don't want him to think I'm sleazy." (easy) - 3x17 Ravenous "Kody was covering his plates." (bases) - 3x18 Bait "I think Tony was jerking your brain." (chain) - 3x19 Iced "Their lawyer's going to try to use her bad taste in men to impregnate her credibility." (impugn) - 3x21 Bloodbath "Ducky, drip it!" (drop it or zip it) - 3x23 Hiatus: Part I "Argh, American idioms drive me up the hall!" (wall) - 3x23 Hiatus: Part I "You look run down." - 4x08 Once a hero "Cut the man some slacks." (slack) - 4x10 Smoked "It's like shooting fish in a pond." (in a barrel) - 4x15 Friends and Lovers "Why haven't you breasted them?" (busted them) - 4x15 Friends & Lovers "McGee, you look like you saw a goat." (ghost) - 4x20 Cover Story "I am having the same problem as McGee had with Capt. Walsh. The Pentagon is rock-walling me." (stone-walling) - 5x05 Leap of Faith "What's a contraption?" (contraction) - 5x08 Designated Target "The Jack she is with is gross." (John) - 5x12 Stakeout "Did you get up on the wrong bed?" (wrong side of the bed) - 5x13 Dog Tags "Once in a blue lagoon." (blue moon) - 5x14 Internal Affairs "You are such a control geek." (freak) - 6x03 Capitol Offense "No wonder he's keeping his cards so close to his breasts." (chest) - 6x05 Nine Lives "We canvassed the area. No one is talking. There is a smurf war." (turf war) - 6x15 Deliverance "You did not change when your books made you plush." (?) - 6x17 South by Southwest "He is full of salami." (bolgna) - 7x04 Good Cop, Bad Cop __________________

You have to love her idioms!
P.S. I see 4 icons that have been deleted and therefore no longer viewable. The 4 between "Ducky- Drip it!" and "Mind if I take a bat nap? Zivaism:#218" Thanks for the new thread!   __________________

Okay, I see if I can find the right ones.
Could you help me out in telling me the episodes to the idioms? I just added the two Silver War ones, don't know the episodes to the rest. EDIT: Better? __________________

I don't know if this really counts, but in an episode McGee said something like "I wish I could've been a fly on the wall in that room" and Ziva didn't get what he meant so said, "Why, so you could buzz around and annoy?"

 Oh, I think Ziva's idioms are probably one of the greatest parts about her character! __________________

Thanks Andie.
Okay, that second batch is now complete with episode and title. (hope I didn't make any mistakes) Now a question for everyone: Should I put the idioms in bolt, the episode number/title or nothing at all? Go have a look and tell me. __________________

You're welcome
I kinda like the idioms in bold and the episode normal. __________________

I agree- Idioms in bold, episodes normal
I think it makes the quote stand out and become more significant to the viewer.__________________

Of course, Ron.
Okay, I'll change it that way. Anyone want to number the episodes in the first batch of quotes, without me needing to look them up?  __________________
