House-like epiphany

A realization made when someone else is talking to you. The moment when you finally figure something out because another person is talking or doing something that brings about the answer. Commonly featured on House, M.D., and named after Dr. Gregory House (played by Hugh Laurie).

Brandon had a House-like epiphany by watching someone else play the saxophone. He told me, "I want to play like that!"

epiphanny

A beautiful woman who is a great, loyal, and trustworthy friend and is the happiness in your life. You will want to spend the rest of your life with her. She is outgoing and gets along with everyone. She loves life almost as much as she loves dolphins.

Epiphany Yang

A cute, endearing person with the tendency to mess around too much sometimes. Allergic to fruit. Very sus of others. Has questionable relation to “sams club”. Strong and independent, but also baby.

I think I really like Epiphany Yang.

I think Epiphany Yang plays too much.
