Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I'm probably still doing it with some word.

I had a roommate in college that pronounced "epitome" like "epi-tohm." He also pronounced "tome" like "toom." Drove me nuts.

My buddy would always talk about the skill toom's used to unlock the "ruin" (rune) skills.

Barely Sociable did this and got a chuckle out of me, great that he owned it in a later video, though.

Brian Regan, the epi-tome of hyper-bowl. What a great show. Thanks for the in-aardvark-ent reminder

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.
