In Media
References to the word "dibs" are seen near the end of "The Nerdvana Annihilation", in the beginning of the "The Rothman Disintegration" and in "The Staircase Implementation" - three episodes of The Big Bang Theory. In The Nerdvana Annihilation, the character Rajesh Koothrapali, after calling dibs on a much-desired movie prop, responds to Howard Wolowitz's claim that he can't call dibs by telling him that he can and if he doesn't believe him he should "look it up on Wikipedia".

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
