Amy has a point there: sometimes I feel like a thing of honey and the guys are the bees depending on how I feel, like its terrifying.

[@derechte6086]

Omg in English it's so much funnier because screwed means fucked but in germany they translated it to geleimt which only means glued

[@CraftBasti]

But the german geleimt ("glued") has the exact meaning of beeing screwed - I would know, I'm german. You count translate it litterally and it would say beeing geschraubt, but it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever. I especially like it that it was even possible to translate it

[@efisgpr]

@@CraftBasti Vielen Dank!

[@yvonnewinters9699]

In dutch we have the same kind of expression: “onder de plak zitten”, i think it comes pretty close to you geleimt: plak equals sticky so you’d be stuck/ sticky to someone, being in a relationship

That’s unexpected, because Germany has such a reputation for humor.

That was the most elegant way to describe screwed that I've ever heard.....

[@Smasho8000]

Leonard has to be the smartest character on this show. While Sheldon beats him in terms of IQ (by only 14 points, I might add), Leonard has a lot more street smarts. Sheldon may be an excellent physicist but he doesn't know sarcasm when he hears it, he can't tell when someone is upset or drive. Plus, Leonard thinks a lot of simpler solutions to problems while Sheldon will think of more difficult ones, which might not always be the best. My theory on why Leonard is smarter.

[@068LAICEPS]

[@bb4ll4sc]

omg the face sheldon makes at 3:40 is just so epic ahhahahaa

[@kunukunu11]

I don't think he over-complicated it. For a screw to be formed one needs a inclined plane to be wrapped helically around an axis. Try doing it by taking a right angled paper triangle, colouring its longest side red and then wrapping it around a pen or a pencil. The coloured side can be seen as though it were a screw. Yes, he could have said this slightly differently. But, hey what's the BBT without a little verbosity :)
