　　Sheldon: No, it hurt… (looking around) Great Caesar’s Ghost, look at this place?

　　Leonard: So Penny’s a little messy.

　　Sheldon: A little messy? The Mandelbrot set of complex numbers is a little messy, this is chaos. Excuse me, explain to me an organisational system where a tray of flatware on a couch is valid. I’m just inferring that this is a couch, because the evidence suggests the coffee table’s having a tiny garage sale.

　　Great Caesar's ghost

　　【日常英语口语对话释】"Caesar" refers to Julius Caesar, the famous Roman politician assassinated after he took complete power in the Roman republic. As for the expression "Great Caesar's Ghost", it is a rather old expression that is a euphemism for "good God", in the days when saying "God" as an oath was considered very rude. 这里表示惊疑，“我的天哪!” (Google，WordReference.com)
