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!"
A condition similar to blexit, in which a black democrat has an epiphany, realizing that the democratic party doesn't care about black people in America as much as it pretends to.

Realizing you are obsessed with a specific pretty girl and should stop letting your bitch baby fears and past experiences lose you the opportunity to kiss her more than just one time.

Tim told his friend Gina that in the days following the Hurricane he was restless and starting to get depressed. Without the subways running and no cable or Internet he didn’t know what to do with himself.
“I was laying in my bed one afternoon looking up at the ceiling,” explained Tim, “and it hit me: I didn’t always have to be busy to feel valuable. I am enough.”
“Duh!” said Gina, “sounds like you had a first world epiphany.“

The position you end up in after an avoidable accident. Typically rolled onto your back after tripping over piles of hoarded magazines or falling out of your chair reaching for a hot pocket.
Tom remained in the epiphany position for awhile after slipping on marbles, in his prized marble collecting room. He now keeps his marbles in jars.
