Just saw a post analyzing that Wilson went to McGill and most likely knows french and now im thinking....House is a known polyglot in the show. Multiple languages, some fluent some not. It's not far off to imagine he knows French (I'm only on s2/3 idk yet).
Imagine Hilson having an argument and one of Cuddy's rules is "don't bring it to work" but House being house can't help himself. So he makes comments. In French. Just to rile Wilson up and it turns into this full blown argument in French, sometimes in front of the ducklings who are just so confused. They know its an argument they just don't know wtf its about.
And if House doesn't know French he would absolutely learn the language just to fuck with Wilson. Like, him and Wilson are eating lunch and House will just add in a comment in french and Wilson passes right by it because he's too engrossed in something until later in his office he's sitting there thinking and all of a sudden House hears "WAIT A MINUTE" before Wilson storms into thw room and goes "YOU KNOW FRENCH?!?". And then once he fully processes this information, goes; "Hey wait a minute, all those times you picked on me for knowing french..." (House calls Wilson a nerd quite often because of this)
I also think he knows chinese?? Manderin if I'm not mistaken. And with the amount of times I've seen him and Wilson eating Chinese takeout i like to imagine he orders in Chinese.
To impress wilson.
So they don't mess up his order. And also he genuinely enjoys the obvious surprise. It fuels his ego. The Chinese restaurant doesn't know where he is. He's never going in person. No harm no foul
Also Wilson being Wilson is so fascinated by House being a polyglot but he won't express it for fear of House's ego. You cannot convince me this man doesn't like hearing House speaking in a different language. That's just a headcanon though
