response: I'm not sure, the colloquial name for Prepatellar bursitis was "Housemaid's Knee".
original_response: I'm not sure. Could you imagine someone trying to get away with that now? They used to call bursitis Housemaid's Knee.
history: I am bored of my maids. But why? Also the word "maid" is a short for the word "maiden" which also means, "virgin". I don't know I just need a change I guess. How did that evolve into someone who cleans a house? I'm not sure, I know that workers such as footmen and maids were expected to remain single while working. Why did they need to remain unmarried? Unclear, but even the highest ranked workers such as a butler would be dismissed if they married! WoW! I did not know that. That's almost equivalent to a slave! Yeah, and in addition to that, a lot of maids had Prepatellar bursitis, which is when the Prepatellar bursa gets inflamed from spending too long on their knees from activities like scrubbing or fire-lighting. When did it stop being that way?
knowledge: Historically many maids suffered from Prepatellar bursitis, an inflammation of the Prepatellar bursa caused by long periods spent on the knees for purposes of scrubbing and fire-lighting, leading to the condition attracting the colloquial name of ''Housemaid's Knee''.
