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.

Pretty sure it was named after the French village Mini-Opuasé where it was discovered in the 1800's.

It's a portmanteau of "Minnow Palls," because doctors used to believe it was caused by a cloud of small fish surrounding those experiencing it.
