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:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
