Okay. A few things.
1. I have been posting. Just not archiving them all here. I will soon. Maybe Tuesday or something. They have all been drabbles for twilight100.
2. We were talking about Latin roots the other day in Latin and I discovered "grex", which is part of the words "egregious" and "gregarious", means "flock". The two words listed above have to do with social things--flock fits in because a flock of sheep is the equivalent to a group of people. So that got me thinking about House.
House's first name is Gregory. I find it interesting that despite the fact that he is a strange person when it comes to social things. He likes to observe social relations and is good at it and he appears to be anti-social but it is my believe he actually enjoys it because he can do the people watching he so much enjoys and he likes to get under people's skin.
So if you hadn't noticed, his name has the Latin root of "grex" in it.
I'm curious to know if the writers did that on purpose. They would have been looking up Latin stuff for all the doctor lingo anyway so...
Any comments?
