"I would die if..."

 

What a odd idiom.

http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=2104403

 

I'm not commenting because it was used here but because it is used so much on this site. Does anyone know why??

I hear it all the time IRL, so that's why I use it.  (For reference, I'm American, originally from NC and now in MI)

It's hyperbole, is all. Or hyperbowl. Yet everyone seems to understand that Penelope doesn't rhyme with antelope. Why is that? I wonder how Zack pronounced her name at their wedding.

Looking forward to Dr Raj snr. I hope he stays long enough to meet Emily. Or is he a one-shot? Regardless, he is the first parent in a long time. It will be funny.

Oh, we are definitely people at a 1963 Beatles concert.  My voice is still sore. 

 

Ever since the days of teenyboppers swooning over Frankie Not-so-hot-ra (as my dad always refers to him) and Elvis and those Beat Brothers, swooning over one's "Fav" is sort of derigueur for many fandoms.

At least for the females...

 

And there's nothing wrong with that.  I remember squealing at my TV some time ago when David Duchovny came onto some talk show.  He hadn't been on in a while and it was just exciting to see him walking in all cool like he is. ;)

Sounds like groupthink.

I for one hope it isn't true. I kind of hate "stunt casting". Just because a famous person wants to be on your show doesn't make it a good idea. I hated when Friends did it (Brad Pitt) and Will and Grace was especially guilty of it. I was worried about the Billy Bob Thornton episode, but he ended up being pretty good. I love when they have guests from their geeky pursuits playing themselves (JEJ, Wil Wheaton, LeVar Burton, etc.), but not shoehorning random famous people into a plot.

I think grew out of one of those facetious questions, you know, like Rachel mentioned with Genie Bouchard. "Would you like to be on Big Bang some day?" "Sure!"

The thing with Genie on the show wasn't a rumour, Jim actually said in an interview that he would love to get her on the show. He might have been joking but still, it came out of his mouth. This though I'd think is completely hoax. I can't picture Jim ever saying "pull off Amy-style granny chic". Sure, Rihanna might appear one the show one day. But that quote from Jim seems to be made up.

I wouldn't 100% trust what The Sun says anyway. I doubt that the quote is genuine, but it would be really cool if Rihanna was on the show. Might make a few Rihanna fans watch TBBT, which could boost ratings and popularity.

The last sentence about Rihanna playing a geek, etc., isn't a quote.  It appears to be the opinion of the writer of the article.

 

But the bit about "...with RiRi set to appear..." is either a total lie or a misinterpretation of Jim and Rihanna saying they'd be happy to work together again.  Just because they may be open to work together again (and actors ALWAYS say that when asked if they would--it would be rude to say no) doesn't mean that there are any actual plans.
