The Big Bang Theory Question

what episode is this quote in? please help!


i remember a funny gag in the big bang theory but i can't find it anymore.

in the scene there's sheldon that says something very weird to leonard (they are in their common room) , then leonard and sheldon go to penny and leonard repeats sheldon's idea, in a slightly different and funny way.
so sheldon says that is a "(something in latin)" which is a way of saying something in a funny, reductive and partially wrong way.
I can't remember the episode.
Please if someone knows the episode...

"He’s engaging in reductio-adubsurdum. It’s the logical fallacy of extending one’s arguments to ridiculous porportions and then criticizing the results. (to Leonard) and I do NOT appreciate it!"
Said when he told Leonard that they may succumb to cannibalism if they let Penny stay in their apartment and they had an earthquake. Then Leonard said to Penny “Penny, if you promise not to chew the flesh off our bones while we sleep, you can stay.”
