Ziva is a member of the NCIS team headed by Gibbs, played by Mark Harmon. The tv program NCIS has about 15 seasons on Netflix. We habitually watch one episode after dinner. We have been doing that for quite a while and know the characters well. The original woman member of the team was shot by an assassin. Ziva is the daughter of the head of a different country's secret service/spy agency and she is a high-level assassin and martial artist.
Ziva is trying to learn English and American idioms and metaphors. She is a very competent agent but she sometimes mis-hears the typical expressions people in this country use. I find the activity of modifying typical expressions as an inexperienced but interested speaker might accidentally do to be fun.
Ziva comes out with her interesting expressions without warning so I miss them sometimes. The one I know by heart is
"Does a bear sit in the woods?" You may recognize there is a missing "h" in that question but Ziva's version is more polite. I wanted to find a listing of her twisted sayings but the best I could do was the result of a search using "Ziva-isms". It turns out that some small company makes a drinking mug covered with her sayings.

There are some good examples on the mug:
It was a blimp on their radar
Did she give you the cold elbow?
I will make it worth your wow
You need to cut the man some slacks
Ziva is played by the Chilean actress Cote de Pablo.
