A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

No one told you to throw away anything. If it works for you then go wild. No one else cares what you do in private or a with your "dev friends".

I for one love shorts words to get meaning across. "main" was just sweet, the social issue thing was a good to have.
