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.

I mean English is a germanic language, not too surprising how german phonemic spelling would look considering how much of our fucked up current system is owed to trying to make loan words consistent with their language of origin.
