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.

Used to be wives were referred to as "Mrs. (Husband's Name)".
Though I'd think anyone calling my wife "Mrs. jordanlund" would be swiftly killed and nobody would find the body.
Its still pretty common in wedding services to announce the couple as "Mr and Mrs [Man Name]". Even seen it when the bride isnt taking the husbands surname.
My partner and I hate it as well.
