Iatroeco-oxyglossophilia  Part 5
           "Anybody notice you know who's been in a slightly better mood than usual this past couple of days?" said Cameron.
           "Good, I thought i was the only one who noticed, " replied Chase.
           "It makes a nice change, why question it?" Foreman said.
           Cameron said, "Well, he goes to that one hysterectomy patient's room and hangs out there on his breaks all the time.  I assigned Nurse Wang to go clean up while he was in there and she told me they're not having sex or anything, they just talk."
           Foreman rolled his eyes. "Maybe that's none of your business."
           Chase snorted.  "She's not at all attractive anyway."
           Foreman said, "Did a fat person kill your mom or something?"
           Chase snapped, "No, but she overheard me say that and started singing ' Dude Looks Like a Lady'-- what are you laughing at?"
           House walked in just as Foreman said,  "I'm laughing at a joke I can't remember right now."
           House commented, "Yeah, right. I told you everybody lies. Now, the patient has pain in his knees and eats a lot of ceviche, so that rules out...."

Manias, phobias and philias (as in love or sexual attraction) are usually based in Greek root words.
Iatros=doctor, medical
eco= house, home
oxy=sharp, acid
glosso=tongue
Therefore, Iatroeco-oxyglossophilia; Love of Sharp -tongued Dr. House. ;) I invented this word.

Ahaha! That's great! I think we should more about roots of words in English instead of learning how to rip apart perfectly good novels.

did you get my message re my cookie recipe? American to British translation: all purpose flour= plain flour, baking soda= bicarb, I think maybe the Brit equivalent of molasses is treacle. Didn't realize you were from Hughland, hehe
