Can one get a patent by publically being the first to express the idea ?



Answer:
Not quite sure what you asking, but the short answer is no. A patent must be an invention or a new method of creating a previous invention, and it must go through an involved application process with the US Patent & Trademark office before it has any patent protection.
There are other ways of protecting an expression of an idea, but it must be more that just saying an idea out loud. Ideas are not protectible under any intellectual property laws. You can copyright certain types of expressions (books, scripts, sculpture, paintings, etc.) but not just a basic idea.

Ideas are not patentable.
