adding Blind Idiot Translation
Added DiffLines:
* BlindIdiotTranslation: At the library, Leonard and Raj find the paper "Examinations of a Super-Asymmetric Model of the Universe" by Vasily Gregoripolipopivich, but the paper is in Russian. Since neither of them knows Russian, Raj puts the paper through Google Translate, which gives the title as "Examinations of moose chowder in lemon parachutes." That's why the app is free, Raj concludes.[[note]]To be fair, as of 2022, Google Translate takes the English title and translates it to Russian as "Исследования суперасимметричной модели Вселенной", which it then translates back to English as "Studies of the superasymmetric model of the Universe." The "app," which is still available for free, has greatly improved since its early days.[[/note]]

!!Tropes:
to:
* AllForNothing:
** The concept of "Super Asymmetry", which Sheldon and Amy came up with on their wedding day and spent many months afterwards working on, turned out to have been brought up before being disproved, as Leonard and Raj find out in a Russian book that Howard translates for them. Not surprisingly, Amy and Sheldon are both devastated when Leonard tells them, especially after Leonard hands them the translated copy of the section regarding the "Super Asymmetry" concept.
** PlayedForLaughs with Bernadette's subplot. She spends the entire episode training to be good at ''Fortnite'' and challenges Howard to a rematch at the end of the episode... only for Howard to immediately kill her character.
* CurbStompBattle: Bernadette has been practicing playing ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' for days and is ready to play against Howard. She gets killed within seconds.
* DownerEnding: Sheldon and Amy discover that the Super Asymmetry theory they had been working on for months not only had been proposed before, but was also disproven in the same paper.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Referenced when Penny finds Bernadette playing ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}''.
-->'''Penny:''' Is this a Freaky Friday situation where you're actually Howard?\\
'''Bernadette:''' If I were really Howard, I'd be doing this. *looks down her blouse* And I'm telling ya, he's not wrong.
* HumiliationConga: Sheldon suffers from this by the end. First [[ItsBeenDone the work he and Amy put into for months turns out to have been done and disproved]], and then he gets a few things wrong (such as skipping work because he thought it was Saturday when it is Friday), which prompts Leonard correcting him. Finally, when he requests dinner, Leonard, nudged by Penny, gives him the take-out Thai food Leonard was going to have... except the dinner in question doesn't include the mango sticky rice Sheldon likes.
