Regarding the point in your title Camilla Send a noteboard - 09/06/2011 03:35:17 PM
I do not think the idea is that Sheldon does not know the original saying. Rather, he has heard the saying, grasped the content, but missed the importance of the form in its position as a fixed expression.

So, I just saw this BBT quote in the Quote of the Day... beetnemesis - 09/06/2011 12:59:51 AM 920 Views
That quote grates at me like cheese in a cheese grater? yeah something like that. *NM* Timthetrolloc - 09/06/2011 06:21:47 AM 312 Views
Seeing quotes like that (and the World of Warcraft episode) is what keeps me from watching. j-whitt987 - 09/06/2011 06:45:20 AM 703 Views
What is wrong with it? *NM* Camilla - 09/06/2011 10:38:09 AM 293 Views
It's an attempt to sound smart while saying something incredibly childish and simple Helene - 09/06/2011 10:57:14 AM 703 Views

Which is why I don't want to watch BBT. The character is wholly unappealing. *NM* Helene - 09/06/2011 01:44:46 PM 292 Views

I dislike BBT because it's such a cliche.. Helene - 09/06/2011 03:50:33 PM 626 Views

I didn't know there was another girl in the show Helene - 11/06/2011 07:20:02 AM 795 Views
No.Sheldon is characterized by: Arrogance, Know-it-all,lack of knowledge about social conventions, *NM* beetnemesis - 09/06/2011 03:16:44 PM 312 Views
Which his lack of normal language points to. Camilla - 09/06/2011 03:18:10 PM 631 Views
Basically? ANYONE WHO COULD PUT TOGETHER THAT DETAILED A PASTICHE WOULD KNOW THE ORIGINAL SAYING beetnemesis - 09/06/2011 03:30:16 PM 635 Views
... Camilla - 09/06/2011 03:33:11 PM 778 Views
I think that actually speaks to the quality of the characters beetnemesis - 10/06/2011 06:06:59 PM 708 Views

Eh. I think if they re-did the joke today they'd make Sheldon use the original, but force/explain it beetnemesis - 10/06/2011 04:48:16 PM 685 Views
your problem with this makes no sense. *NM* temeraire - 11/06/2011 02:42:00 AM 270 Views
