[MD] Why are things called patterns?

[Andre]

Horse:
Taking silence as agreement is never a good idea.

Andre:
Hear hear. My response to Mark when asked if there was anything wrong with his logic was that I wouldn't know where to start (in pointing them all out and addressing them) and that I didn't have the energy or inclination to pursue this. I mean, who is thick here?

Mark:
Yes, I agree, hear hear.  These twittering tweets are annoying.  Let us stick to MoQ.  As you know, I presented my interpretations which have been accepted since nobody seems to think otherwise.  Let us
stick to that.

Andre(exasperated):
Sigh.
