    I thought House was because it sounds like “home” and that sounds like Holmes, and the character/show of House is based on the Sherlock Holmes stories.

      It’s actually a reference to Brick House, the lyrics:

      "Ow, she’s a brick house

      She’s mighty-mighty, just lettin’ it all hang out. She’s a brick house. That lady’s stacked and that’s a fact. Ain’t holding nothing back"

      Referring to the demeanor of Dr.House and how he lets it all hang out, and holds nothing back.

      :P
