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 feel like parts of the UK have always said ass instead of arse. Like how some places say pants instead of trousers.
Isn't pants an American thing? Never heard that word used here to mean anything other than certain types of underwear
Its another local accent word from nearish Manchester iirc that got taken over when colonists went to America. Its be like if mostly Yorkshire people went over as colonists and Americans used keks/kegs instead of pants.
That I did not know. Always learning
I did just remember 1 innstane of pants as trousers
Trevor and Simon on Saturday morning tv heh
