Ziva-ism

In the world of NCIS fans, a Ziva-ism is typically an idiomatic mistake made by the character Ziva David. She is somewhat foreign and is still trying to grasp the American language. American idioms drive her up the hall as she said.

Ziva: "I would hate to be misunderstood."
Fornell: "And does that happen often?"
Ziva: "Once in a blue lagoon."

Ziva used blue lagoon instead of blue moon, so this is a Ziva-ism.

Ziva david

A character on the tv show Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) played by the Chilean actress Cote de Pablo. Ziva is Israeli and was formerly a Mossad liason officer for NCIS but is currently a Probationary Special Agent. She joined NCIS in season 3 after she killed her half-brother Ari Haswari to save Leroy Jethro Gibbs after Ari killed one of his agents Special Agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd. From then on she had Gibbs' trust and is like a daughter to him, often times he affectionately calls her Ziver. She had a relationship with the old director, Jenny Shepherd; and often butt heads with her partner Anthony DiNozzo. Tony and Ziva have major sexual tension on the show and together make up the relationship Tiva. She is also close with the other agent, Timothy McGee, in a brother/sister relationship. It is known that Ziva's younger sister Tali was killed in a Hamas suicide bombing when she was only 16. Ziva's father, Eli David, is the Director of Mossad, and is a very mean man. At the end of season 6, he made Ziva quit NCIS and become a full time Mossad officer again, and sent her on a suicide mission in Somalia where she was captured, tortured, and presumed raped by terrorists. NCIS steps in and saves her.

All in all, Ziva David is a crazy israeli chick with impulse issues, is a ninja, and the best character on TV!!!!!! TIVA FOREVER!!!!!
