Or is that thingie? Can't find it in my dictionary. I can find Zwinglian, which while a fun sounding word is otherwise useless. Thingy/thingie, however, is infinitely useful, but definitely not in my dictionary

For a smart guy, House really doesn't learn, or doesn't want to learn. It'll be interesting to see how this cop arc plays out, see if House learns a lesson or simply learns better ways of avoiding responsibility.
I suspect when Wilson finds out about the forged prescriptions, handcuffs are going to be the least of House's worries. Altho, the image of House handcuffed to Wilson's desk brings up all kinds of pleasant thoughts ;-)
That has just brought up the strangest mental image of House sitting on the floor of Wilson's office chained to a desk leg, sulking, while Wilson does his paperwork.
And then Cuddy walks in and asks where is House and he just points. She walks around the desk to the window side, House looks up at her and goes 'WHAT!'

"One exception does not disprove the rule,", ah, yes, actually, it does.
Except that House is kind of like learning a foreign language. Sure, there are rules, but there are always those pesky irregular verbs that don't play by the rules ;-)

Aha! I should have thought of grammar. I immediately thought of logic, where the opposite of "all swans are white" is not "all swans are black." But my mother's a linguist, and I know you can have whole classes of expections that don't disprove the rule. (I've been having trouble with the 'one exception' thing for a while, but I know how it works. *g*)

House just doesn't learn does he? This is a great coda to the "Fools for Love" ep.
